The problem is that it is unrealistic to expect various software vendors to support all the features of CSS (even the simplest features like text-transform are often missing). Because they are superfluous for 90% of books here, the CSS styling should add to the book format, not define it.
For that purpose, the format should be built on a semantic basis. The only kind of span we can allow is for xml:lang attribute, for the correct hyphenation.
