All pages must validate to HTML standards and do not use HR elements #17

The web pages are not validating to W3C standards. Use the validator.w3.org to test your pages for valid markup.

Do not use HR element, use CSS border properties instead

All pages are validating except those that use the newer tree view, as it is completely invalid in XHTML and should be removed and replaced with something in-house that does validate (ie, the old with added expansion/collapsing). It attempts to cascade block elements within lis, amongst numerous other issues.

What are your arguments for not using the hr? It is defined in all of the accessibility rules that I have read that an HR with a title attribute of "" is an acceptable presentation-only tag.
