Is this only on the span tag, or all tags?  We use class very heavily
here in the GNOME docs...  <filename
class="directory">/usr/share/gnome</filename> and such.  I just poked
around the OASIS and DocBook.org sites, but I can't find the notes on
the currently planned changed between 4 and 5.  Can anybody give me a
pointer?  Thanks,
