Cannot html element be dropped safely? And one of the div-span pair should go.
I have mixed feelings here - div is shorter, but span looks more apropriate:
it can span a word, or it can span a paragraph...

So in HTML6.1 we are left with span and a. All the mess was moved to
class and rel
attributes  :)

Agrred. But this is very very tough problem - where to draw the line.
