[jQuery] css method on span reports block?

[sliver]

Im not sure if this is intended, but it leads to some unexpected
results:

console.log($('<span/>').css('display')); --> 'block'

According to W3, span's default display value is inline. Any reason
for the switch?


Also, say you have a class definition in a style sheet:
.inline {
    display: inline;
}

console.log($('<div/>').addClass('inline').css('display')); -->
'block'

I would expect it to report 'inline'...
