7) Try your hardest to never use SPAN again. It's a very sloppy way of styling text. Using well structured IDs, classes, and chosing the right CSS selectors is much cleaner.
Hmm. I have used SPAN for some things that I haven't thought up any better ways to do. The biggest culprit is for styling numerators and denominators of fractions, styling the similar arrangements for size specification limits (when they are not centered on the nominal value like "+/- 0.005 in."), and subscripts in chemical formulas. The use of SUP and SUB blows my line spacing in running text--apparently the method used to implement SUP and SUB hijacks the entire line height and moves it up, thus bumping the line down a little extra below the one above (SUP) or bumping all the following text down (SUB). I don't like the complexity of my markup very much but I don't agree with your characterization with the pejorative "sloppy" unless there is a simpler way to get my lines spaced evenly in spite of the fractionals and subscripts. Any ideas for such a simpler way?
