One way to avoid dealing with whether or not an empty span displays
its background (and perhaps to salve the conscience over non-semantic
markup) is to place the last word of the link within the span.
So <a class="external">The last <span>word</span></a> for longer links
that might split over lines; which collapses to
<a class="external"><span>Blah</span></a> when there is only a single word.
