[sheet authors] readonly input vs named spans

Other than aesthetics, is there much benefit for using a named span vs readonly inputs? example, say I want to display the value of @{foobar_total} normally I would use just use the readonly input wherever I wanted to display the total. <input type="number" name="attr_foobar_total" value="0" readonly /> vs a hidden input and span <input type="hidden" name="attr_foobar_total" value="0" /> <span name="attr_foobar_total"></span> then simply copying the span wherever needed for display. I'm leaning toward it being primarily an aesthetics/css benefit, but I'm curious to hear someone else's opinion.  Thanks

It's primarily a css benefit of potentially not needing to overwrite quite so much style wise. I'll also note that,except in repeating sections, you don't need the duplicate input.
