I can't think of a situation where anyone would do that, although the line
from styling in-line to invalid markup escapes me (mind you, I'm not
bothering thinking beyond our development environment right now: everyone
here knows better).
That's a good question to pose to my team, though...if "they" made display:
block to give inline elements block format, and that's ok, wouldn't the
converse be true?
I've not read the specs on "why", but in dictionary display: block and
display: inline are used to remove display: none from a previous style.
