All works fine for me. However, don't forget to check that your target device/app supports this kind of standard styling...

For a scene break,you don't want to use a margin-top. It doesn't work. When you have the space at the end of the page, the space gets lost. Use
padding-top: 2em; as the space is not lost.
Instead of using just space or a graphic or * * * (looks awful), I use an <hr/>. The following code and it works very well.
Code:
hr {
margin-top: 1em;
margin-right: 40%;
margin-bottom: 0.9em;
margin-left: 40%;
border-top: 2px solid;
}
Baen books does something I find just plain wrong. They indent the first paragraph of a chapter and the paragraph after a scene break. This is something I really dislike.
Then there are the books that don't indent the paragraph after some offset text. Again that just looks wrong because this is not a new scene.
