 As it is valid markup, shouldn't this be allowed?

 It would be nice if it could be, though in order to normalize the behavior
 of different browsers, TinyMCE has to assume that a `<span>` without an ID
 or class has been inserted by the browser without user intent.

 There are a couple things you could do to work around the issue in
 specific scenarios. Bare span elements could be allowed by filtering the
 `extended_valid_elements` setting for TinyMCE. A custom selection could be
 provided via TinyMCE plugin in the toolbar for the customer to wrap text
 without requiring any HTML entry.
