say for example having said <SPAN

tag in his document, isn't it true we are trying to convey the same meaning .Imagine thousands of

pages are being written for the web, for the publishing industry and what a waste of enormous

|
time if people would like to convey similar meaning but use different elements with the core

language being same, this is where an <SPAN
