empty spans are only unvalid for STRICT validation. there has been a 
reason (I currently do not remember anymore) why it has been removed 
from the first implementation whre the nbsps have been removed.

BUT looking at your patch: have a look at the function call: $innerHtml 
defaults to nbsp;
So your place is the wrong to fix. has to be done in the calls to this 
function...

so -1 to the solution by reading
