Yes, "span"'s not great, and given my
reservations about "including" HTML expressed above, I'd prefer to see a
custom piece of markup that *generated*
span tags in normal skins. This would then give us free reign to define its use,
behaviour, limits, etc. and decide how we want it to be rendered in
any given skin. Since it's only useful once you've got a system for defining what
the information's actually going to be *used* for, there's no real
point in rushing in and incorporating syntax that might turn out to be unsuitable.
I think just using span with locked down properties should be fine- we
can still exchange it with something else during rendering if that
becomes necessary. That's what we already do with <center>- it's
replaced with a div class="center" and some css.
