It isn't. Using a span is a great way to hang a class or contextual
style on an inline element inside a paragraph or list item, for example.
<p class="foo">some text here is blue. but <span>this text</span> is
red.</p>
p.foo {
color:blue;
}
.foo span {
color:red;
}
simplified, but you get the idea, right? You could as easily create a
span class rather than use the contextual approach, but that would mean
actually applying the class to more elements, whereas you could simply
have as many spans occur within a specific container and the rule
automatically applies without affecting non "foo" spans.
