If there are empty spans at end of sentences then they've probably come about via someone (like me) wanting 2 spaces between sentences. When I write running writing with my quill I leave more space at the start of a sentence that between words. And I read in small fonts so the double space makes it easier to read.
I can't recall exact steps but you can get an EPUB where the second space is put in a span (from conversion I guess), then something (maybe something in Sigil) trashes the second space but leaves the empty span.
I sometimes do a quick convert of docx2epub with calibre then fire up Sigil to use its spellchecking (e.g. list hyphenated words) & reports (e.g. for oddball characters). I think thats when I see the second space in a span, if I do something
unsmart (can't recall what) the spaces are torn down but the spans are left standing. Doesn't matter to me because its a throw away EPUB.
My solution is to use space|non-breaking-space. I don't give a stuff if that's sub-optimal, it works for me, I don't publish the stuff I edit, and I am not markup code fetishist
