Comment:

 > Therefore, one way to work around this would be to not use <span> tags,
 but <i> tags (which by the way is what most CSS libraries use for font
 icons)

 Agreed. In addition it's not a good idea to stop removing empty spans.
 WebKit and particularly Chrome has the "bad habit" to insert lots of spans
 with inline styles for no good reason, see #26975. Some of them are empty.
 Most are caught and cleaned by TinyMCE, but some make it through.
