Would it be better to use:

<TD class="text2">

and <a href="#" class="link10" >

rather than all these spans? That way, the presentational effects are 
applied directly to the structural elements (this kind of link, class link 
10, should look like this) rather than wrapped inside them (this bit of 
text should look like this, and oh by the way it happens to be inside a link).

Or am I just being anal?
