Re: XML eliminating tags [was: It is getting too quiet in here again. Does anyone have anyquestions?]

Sorry, I may have overstated the reality of the situation.  XHTML encourages
the use of <span> tags in conjunction with CSS rather than explicitly
stating <font>, <b>, <i>, etc.

i.e.
<span class="bold">Bold Text</span>
instead of
<b>Bold Text</b>

I didn't mean eliminating ALL tags, just those that can easily be replaced
by CSS, and liberal use of SPAN and DIV

One other rule, XHTML requires proper nesting of tags.
