That doesn't make sense to me. Perhaps I have misinterpreted the
specification. Whether an element is block level or inline is a
presentational issue, is it not? If <l> elements are supposed to be inline
elements, then the behavior of <span> is being mimicked, rather than <div>.
So <l>foo</l> is the same as <span>foo</span> in all but name. So perhaps
<span> and <l> should be combined to become <container> instead?

If I've totally misunderstood this, please reply to me off list.
