This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Refer to URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/span.html#span-details The paragraph under "Details" -- "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" is not grammatically correct. -Devarshi
Sorry, but the specification you are referring to has now been discontinued.
Robin, A user hitting a subpage wouldn'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 "W3C Working Group Note" does not synch with the current status of the document -- not to mention whether AT would even parse such information that renders through CSS. -Devarshi
