Enter XHTML 2.0, sporting its shiny new NL element:

Thanks, Mark!

Hmm...that doesn't seem to affect Opera, but the link to
http://www.sovavsiti.cz/css/hr.html was quite useful (although it too claims
that it should work in Opera). I must commend your ability to cite and
footnote your replies in such detail!

Oh...wait...hold on...it looks like any 1px high hr in Opera renders as
black, due to it wanting to render the shadow. So, it 'does' work in theory.

It does work! Good idea, Scott. The only 'glitch' is that you loose the link
cursor when you rollover the actual link text in IE 5.5.

I find that an acceptable trade-off, though would that in any way affect
usability in certain situations?

I agree this is a great new element, but how long until we can actually use
it?  Too long in my opinion.
