During code maintenance preparing for LibreOffice 4.0 the feature set for
Insert -> Horizontal Ruler...  for direct styling of the swrite component
was removed. This has caused some problems for  compatibility and
maintenance of  .ODT documents created in earlier versions.

These are not the <HR> or <HR  /> tags of HTML 4 or  XML markup. Rather
these Horizontal Rulers function as paragraph separators. And while some
provisions of paragraph styles remains there has been a loss of ability to
incorporate a graphically pleasing separator. 

See  fdo#60858 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60858>   and
referenced thread and Ask 

It seems there now are UX issues of:

1)  providing swrite direct styling by inserting horizontal rules, from the
Insert menu, or not. And of what construction;

2) how best to provide a now needed enhancement to paragraph styling to
accommodate different paragraph separators, e.g  text, svg or images and
where to hold them.
