Well, it's a documented limitation on the Markdown syntax page: "The  
only restrictions are that block-level HTML elements -- e.g. `<div>`,  
`<table>`, `<pre>`, `<p>`, etc. -- must be separated from surrounding  
content by blank lines, and the start and end tags of the block  
should not be indented with tabs or spaces."

"hr" is a block-level element, but you have not separated them by a  
blank line.

This is a "designed" limitation to simplify the parser. It doesn't  
mean a parser shouldn't do better, and I believe John is trying to  
improve Markdown.pl to remove some limitations like this one.

Indeed, Markdown Extra's HTML block parser is much better at that  
than PHP Markdown's or the one in Markdown.pl.
