is it not true that all tags, eg: <span> <li> <ul>

However, some have a function (i.e., <a> and <form>), some have nesting limitations from the dtd (an <a> cannot contain another <a>, a <p> cannot contain an <ol>), and all have a semantical meaning assigned which can be stretched and bent, but not changed, lest your markup becomes just a collection of meaningless containers. It's worth noting that this is what allows XHTML to be a form of XML
