Version 0.4 will make a dramatic shift by changing the <SPAN> tag functionality.  The <DIV> tag will be used instead to provide the same functionality.

The reason for this shift is due to the HTML specification specifying that the <SPAN> tag should only surround text. 

Xview4Struts promotes useage of the <SPAN> tag for replacing existing html content including all markup.  The major useage of this feature is for converting html mock-ups to a working application.

Using the <SPAN> tag the way Xview4Struts originally intended, will cause some html editors to complain or even break.  Therefore, the decision has been made to shift that functionality to the <DIV> tag.

This dicision was not made lightly as it breaks all backwards compatibility.
