[csswg-drafts] differences between inline element and inline level element

xianshenglu has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== differences between  inline element and inline level element ==
`[CSS2.1]` `[Visual formatting model]`
[CSS2.1 Visual formatting model](https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-CSS2-20110607/visuren.html#inline-boxes) defines `inline level element`,`inline-level box `and  `inline box`. 

**However I didn't find the definition of `inline element`. And there is some place using `inline element` rather than other terms. It turns out that `inline element`  is not equal to  `inline level element`. **

So,I am here to ask for a definition of `inline element`. 

Ambiguous example:

[the-width-property](https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-CSS2-20110607/visudet.html#the-width-property) said 

> This property does not apply to non-replaced inline elements.

However,we both know that `width` applies to `non-replaced inline block element` which is a `inline 
level element`. So,in this case, ` inline elements`  is not equal to `inline level element`. 

And cases like above happened many times.
