The hr element is allowed to be used inside the select element as a separator.
But the hr element isn't allowed to be used inside the optgroup element as a separator.
Why?

Allow <hr> to be used inside <select> as a separator

This is a long-standing WebKit feature that regressed as part of the standardized HTML parser effort. This suggests bringing it back with optional semantics, but a mandatory HTML parser change.

The HTML parser change is not expected to be significant for existing content or XSS. When the feature is correctly used it will also not hurt HTML parsers that have not yet incorporated the change. I.e., it should be fully backwards compatible.

Tests: html5lib/html5lib-tests#167.

Fixes #3410.

That's not a common UI paradigm as far as I know.

We don't assign issues. This is also not something we've decided we want to fix. I'm actually inclined to close unless there's a compelling case made.

That's not a common UI paradigm as far as I know.

It's not used in HTML because it's not supported. If it was supported it might get used. I suspect the OP wants to add it to the standard so that it gets supported.

In desktop apps, horizontal bars get used to separate subgroups of menu items. Here's an example where they are used in the main listing of a menu as well as in a submenu in PyCharm.
