With respect, that is not quite why. A bunch of implementations producing differing
outcomes given the same input can also be the symptom of a bigger problem: a lack of
use-cases to define what the proper behavior should be. I think this is one of those
and so do others on the WG; thus it would be most helpful if assertions of what should 
happen were backed up with examples that demonstrate why a particular solution is the
most desirable behavior. There are many examples in the real world that involve 
transforming a block element. Transformations of inline spans inside a larger body of
text is far less common afaik. But if you have several examples that concur then by
all means let's talk about them.
