Component:  Editor        |     Version:  3.1

 Tested in most recent nightly (as of 10/13/10).

 When adding a text color to a link, the span tags are placed outside the
 link, like this:

 {{{
 <span style="color: #339966;"><a
 href="http://wordpress.org/">link</a></span>
 }}}

 The previous behavior (confirmed in 2.9.2) was to nest the span tags
 within the link, like this:

 {{{
 <a href="http://wordpress.org/"><span style="color:
 #339966;">link</span></a>
 }}}

 Users can no longer influence the color of a link using only the Visual
 Editor.

 Steps to reproduce/test against other versions:

  1. Add some text.
  2. Make it into a link using the Visual Editor.
  3. Select the text again and select a color for it using the Visual
 Editor.
