Comment (by afercia):

 Just wanted to add that the previous change was reverted just to support a
 single, specific, rarely used, CSS technique for "justified menu items"
 which is basically a CSS hack, you can see it here:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35107#comment:2
 it is a hack because it has to "fake" a second line of text in order to
 make justified alignment work. Worth considering we'll all soon [https
 ://css-tricks.com/equidistant-objects-with-css/ use Flexbox] for this.

 By the way, the main issue is still the original one: WordPress uses two
 functions for the same purpose and these two functions output inconsistent
 HTML. Even if it's a small detail, I think we should find a solution
 unless we intentionally want to make developers life harder :)
