Or maybe you actually want a span. Like, say, to provide a background
around the link or something, like
<span class="foo">[[Bar]]</span>
.foo { background: red; padding: 1em; }
.foo a { background: green; color: white; }
Or whatever. <a><b></b></a> is not the same as <b></b>.

Well, the edit is no more obnoxious if the link actually shows up as a
link instead of HTML gibberish. It has to be reverted either way.
