What is bad about that?  If you have several headings per part, that
would IMO be a valid reason to use a transition at the end of a section.


Heading 1
=========

foo

Heading 2
=========

foo2

-------------------

Heading 3
=========

bar

Heading 4
=========

bar2


Even if the transition is rendered as a vertical gap, it still makes
sense.

What about simply documentating that?  I think that it is not a good
idea to detain the user from doing that, if he really needs it.
