Not true. <span></span> is not replaced, <empty/> is not replaced
either. <br/> (<br> in HTML) is just an empty, non-replaced, inline
element. There is nothing in the spec saying that inline elements must
contain content.
Section 10.8:
# Empty inline elements generate empty inline boxes, but these boxes
# still have margins, padding, borders and a line height, and thus
# influence these calculations just like elements with content.
However, the entire issue is moot given the anonymous inline concept I
mentioned previously.
