Hi Kelly,
Actually, I would contend that semantically, it does NOT hold together.
You're talking about a list of links, but one which is meant to display
horizontally. Semantically speaking then, this should be in a list
element, and the style (display) should be handled with CSS.
To get shorter pipes, you simple adjust the padding in the CSS:
>#footerlinks li a {
> display: block;
> padding: 0 3px;/* Shorter Pipes ;) */

I find that I almost never need to use span, b, i, br, or hr. There's
almost always a better solution in a more semantically appropriate tag
and the judicious application of styling.
Just my two cents. In any event, I'm glad you found a solution that
works better for you.
Bill
