Oh, I get you (although your greater-than signs got converted into quoting characters in my e-mail, but I figured out what you meant). I've had similar issues with styling links as buttons and wanting two next to each other with just a couple pixels of margin. Controlling the HTML allowed me to not have spaces between, and I just forwent the code prettiness.
