You're sure it's not talking about a particular attribute or something?
It *is* definitely talking about the span element? Not trying to insult
your intelligence, but I don't understand how something like that could
have slipped past both the authors and editors.

Hopefully you also like the </u> tag just as much. Or are you talking
about the u *element*? ;-)

It doesn't carry any semantic meaning though (at least, not in any
context I'm aware of), unlike <b> and <i>, which can.
