And the latter seems to be compatible with everything.
(Typographic definition of "thin space" is 1/5 or 1/6em.)
Shouldn't both quote marks be in the span?:

Code:
<p><span style="letter-spacing:0.166em">“‘</span>Honeymoon Bridge’</p>
If the renderer is adding spacing outside the span, it's doing it wrong according to the CSS3 draft: "It is incorrect to include the letter spacing on the right or trailing edge of the element"
