Comment (by azaozz):

 Using <hr> would let us use `:before` and `:after` CSS, but doesn't work
 well when inserting in the editor. As the More and Nextpage are HTML
 comments, we pretty much allow them in any HTML context. Image
 placeholders work pretty well anywhere too. However <hr> does not.
 Combined with autop, that can result in invalid HTML or blank lines being
 added before/after, etc.
