That's why the XHTML 2 draft states [1]

# An a element defines an anchor. Since hypertext attributes such as
# href may be applied to any element, this element is not strictly
# necessary, being equivalent to a span, but has been retained to allow
# the expression of explicit links.

I personally don't think that's a very good reason to keep it, but there 
is little harm in doing so.
