Comment (by nacin):

 Per IRC with azaozz:

  * Deleting <span> tags is not a regression. Leave this for 3.6 or later.
 We can possibly submit a patch for TinyMCE's DomParser to leave
 removeEmpty elements that still have certain other attributes (`class`,
 specifically) just as it handles `id` and `name`.

  * For 3.5.1, revert
 https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/commit/6e2a6b5ff657f58c66859256f4ad87f4d9f27423
 to restore TinyMCE 3.4.9 (and WP 3.4) behavior. We should be able to make
 this change in our wp-tinymce-schema.js file.
