Why is span lighter than div? Inline and nowrap is not specific to span. AFAICT, there’s nothing specific to snap which fits Label better than div.
As far as components which “does” span: Besides Span in HTML, we have HTMLText in Basic which encapsulates span. I can revert the change I made to Label, but I have not seen any downside to using div for Label. It seems to me that there’s nothing in the Label promise which dictates using span.
