bad / redundant html ?

cleaning en Epub from a poor quality source, with sigil, prior to converting to mobi in calibre....

I have removed well over 100 instances of
Code:
</span> <span class="none">
which would frequently appear either mid-word or between 2 words in a sentence.
e.g.
"
<p class="calibre2"><span class="none">A thought was enough. Micah and Nathaniel were sitting just outside, one against the wall, the other sitting on</span> <span class="none">the</span> <span class="none">floor. ....."

This was always to be found embedded within an outer "span class ="none" ....- end span" HTML construct- thus completely redundant ?. I googled HTML span but was not a lot wiser :-(

I could see no logical reason for it to be there & removing it seems to have done no harm, but I'm curious as to what put it therein the 1st place - & why.

I think the source had been processed in word then reconverted to epub, FWIW.
