Hi Thomas, according to Mariyan's description, the words should be embedded in the text, so I assume, that they should look like links (color, underline) and feel like links (mousepointer, ...) I would find it a little bit odd to use spans, only to redecorate them using CSS to make them look like hyperlinks. From the user's perspective, they should work like hyperlinks - the use case basically doesn't change, if the action is executed by a request to the server side or not. (Also, there have always been in-page links "#...", so not every link has to create a request to the server.)
Of course, it's also ok to use spans, actually they can be used for everything in an HTML page, as long as CSS is enabled, so... raises the question what HTML is good for anyway.
