Hi Paul,
Unfortunately, with the <hr> tag restricted there isn't a way built into the forms or settings for them to create a horizontal rule in some sections but not others if you are using section headers to help you break up parts of your form. It is possible with a rich text formula field and by suppressing the field name to drop in colorized or stylized text headers to help break up a form visually but it does behave differently from an actual section header.
If being able to add in a horizontal line with more control over where they display would be helpful to you I would suggest submitting that feedback to our User Voice.

Sorry there isn't an easier trick I can point you to right now.

- Guessing there isn't a way to name a section without displaying the name either, right?

Do you mean to have a line break on the page without having a name for the section? It is possible to just have the line show without putting anything into the Section Heading text box on the form but that can make it tricky for using form rules to hide and collapse sections, etc.

... whenI have to use fake section heading, typically to get fields to align properly, I will name the unnamed sections temporarily and then do my form rules and then remove the names.
