> Why using <p> </p> as p is a kind of <span> with margin.
Paragraph is a block level element (vs. span, which is inline) . Its
use is semantic: most of the textual data on the web is in paragraph
form.  Remember that the tags in XHTML provide meaning, not styling.

><a> </a>  means that the word inside is a link

>a { color:blue;  text-decoration:underline; }
>is the same as setting
>a:link { color:blue; text-decoration:underline; }
>Link is a redundant tag
a:link specifically applies to a tag with a href attribute.  Tags such
as <a name=""></a> do not get styling specified using :link.

>I don't understand why w3c in XHTML 2.0  replace the <br> by  <line></line>
>or something similar. Why not using  <span> </span> instead.
Why use <span> </span>? The linebreak element cannot contain data.  In
XHTML 1.1 the tag is the "self-closing" <br />
