Details
Cascated Style Sheets using <SPAN></SPAN> don't work as expected.
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
span { text-decoration:none }
</STYLE>
and then using <SPAN><A HREF="...>Text</A></SPAN> won't avoid the default link
underlining, but I think it suposed to do so.

Reassigning to style guys. Leaving as unconfirmed since I have no clue what's
the right behaviour.

Summary: CSS SPAN-Tag bug → Style applied to <SPAN> isn't inherited by <A ...>
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#inheritance

http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/current/sec543.htm
From the descriptions, I think the link shouldn't be underlined.
This is not a bug. Inheritance only occurs when no declarations match, and
there's a declaration for text-decoration in the user stylesheet that matches
:link, :visited.

So you mean because I defined <BODY ... LINK="#C62929" VLINK="#C62929"> there is
no inheritance of <SPAM> in this case?
Wouldn't that mean that Netscape Communicator 4.7 works not correctly in this
case (since it doesn't display underlines)?

Yup, it means that Netscape Navigator 4 doesn't work correctly in this case.
