Do you really think it is necessary to insult people just because they 
do not like superfluous code in their markup? There might be people who 
who exaggerate, but I do find grammar nazi in our current context a 
little bit over the top. Can you tell me a reason why that anchor 
element should be kept although it is superfluous, no css changes are 
needed plus people might encounter problems with it?

It can happen when you want you want to display your content inside a 
list, be that dl, ul or dl. This, if I remember right, was the problem 
of a guy I talked to in irc or I read about it in german or english list.

I changed it in TS, and I am sure I am not the only one. It took me some 
time, but i figured it out on my own and learned a lot by doing so. This 
is not something you learn in your first three lessons of TS.
Even if I was able to build my own rendering extensions I would not do 
so. I do believe in the improvement of what we have, and that is not bad 
already ;-)
