The overzealous, who are legion, get massively hung up on the whole "semantic markup" thing when it comes to such matters as spans used as hooks for styling. Although nobody wants a return to the tag soup of old, a look at the standard tells us: "These elements define content to be inline (SPAN) or block-level (DIV) but impose no other presentational idioms on the content. Thus, authors may use these elements in conjunction with style sheets, the lang attribute, etc., to tailor HTML to their own needs and tastes." <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-SPAN> So I'd say don't worry about it.
