Putting an empty span in the middle of a word should not make the word
breakable at the span position.

See this page for an example:
http://www.plexode.com/cgi-bin/eval3.py#ht=%3Cdiv%20style%3D%22background-color%3Ared%3Bwidth%3A1px%22%3Ewo%3Cspan%3E%3C%2Fspan%3Erd%3C%2Fdiv%3E&ohh=1&ohj=1&jt=&ojh=1&ojj=1&ms=100&oth=0&otj=0&cex=1

I'm not sure why this is correct, but roc claims it is and this is what IE7 and
FF3 do.
