What makes that value "original", though? For <span> it's the default
value of the display property, but for <div> I assume you would want
"block" instead... which is just something that's set in a stylesheet.
How are you dividing up the stylesheets that should or should not be
taken into account when "default" is set?

I'm not sure I follow. Can you describe the behavior here in terms of
the CSS cascade instead of by example?
