Is <div/> different from <span style="display:block" /> in any way?
They render just fine the same. Any semantic difference between the two?

Yes they are different.
Even though you style a span with
display: blockyou still can’t put block-level elements inside it:The (X)HTML still has to obey the (X)HTML DTD (whichever one you use), no matter how the CSS alters things.
