It appears a novel (tried and true?) solution does exist to support <hr size=0> and it is to split the file there, ala calibre & .epubs.

Per the Excerpts from A Technical Writer's HTML Template for SoftBook Editions:
Quote:
G. The Problem of Page Breaks
If your RocketEdition uses explicit page breaks (<HR SIZE=0> tags) that you wish to retain in the SoftBook Edition, you have several options for handling them. If you do not change them, they will appear as thin horizontal lines the width of the display. The most-platform independent option is to divide your HTML into a series of separate files, one for each section that starts with a page break. Both SoftBook Professional Publisher and RocketWriter insert a page break at the start of each new input file....
Food for thought...
