In O'Reilly - "HTML & XHTML The Definitive Guide", 5th edition. It is
mentioned as deprecated in the descripiton for the span tag but not in the
usual spot - the title for that tag's section. I suspect an editing
error.

Plus, I would hate to lose Span - very handy for doing something special
with a word or phrase in a sentence.

I also like <u>, the underline tag, which is deprecated. The <u> is so
much simpler than the css text-decoration for random uses on a page.
