Sorry for the confusion. I have no opinion on removing spans that contain no text between the opening and closing span tags. I'm not certain why they'd be there in the first place, but removing them should change nothing. I've been referring to spans that contain text, but whose tags have no attributes. Removing those can change how things render (as others have already illustrated).
One option would be to stop removing naked (no attributes) span tags by default with the plugin. Then make it a manual preference to remove them. Those who know the risks (and know what they're doing) and want to remove them anyway, could always manually add something like a
Code:
"remove_naked_spans": true,
to the plugin's .json preferences file that the plugin could then honor.
