I thought the point of making our subject line an <A> tag was not just for the "appearance" of a link, but to provide a valid link for accessibility reasons. Is my understanding correct? Or is there a different reason why the <A> tag was chosen?

1)       Try avoid using the Anchor tag, you can use other elements like DIV
(you already knew) or SPAN tag and still mimic the Anchor tag appearance.
Some thing like this:


<span style="text-decoration: underline; cursor:hand; color:blue"
onclick="aFunction()" >
click this "link"
</span>.

He raises a valid point.There are plenty other reasons to use <span>
instead of <a>:
