    <thetext>Refer to URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/span.html#span-details

The paragraph under &quot;Details&quot; --
&quot;The span element is a can be used with attributes such as class, lang, xml:lang, and title to add additional semantics and structure to phrasing content&quot; is not grammatically correct.

    <thetext>Robin, 

A user hitting a subpage wouldn&apos;t know it has been discontinued. Granted, the homepage, http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/ does carry the information, but hardly helpful in light of the above observation. 

This information should be passed on to all subpages. Also, the WG Note &quot;W3C Working Group Note&quot; does not synch with the current status of the document -- not to mention whether AT would even parse such information that renders through CSS.
