What is the point of a span if it is not spanning anything?

Subject: [css-d] <span /> crashing IE7

My IE7 crashes if I look at the following source:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Crashes IE7</title>

<style>
  a {  position: relative;}
  a span{position: absolute;}
</style>
</head>
<body  >

  <a href="">Link1<span /></a>
  <a href="">Link2<span /></a>

</body>
</html>

It doesn't crash if I am explicit with <span></span> It doesn't crash if I
only have 1 link.

Is <span /> illegal?  Why would this crash IE7?

Glen
