Yes, they normally do. But they don't fall back correctly if for any
reason CSS is not available. (There are a few possibilities. Using a
text-mode browser is one. Selecting "No style" in Firefox is another.
There could be more, and the fact that there could be more is not a
reassuring thought.)
Two spans combined with display: none, when CSS is not available, falls back to
35三十五
which is clearly incorrect. Therefore, from a content point of view,
fantasai's solution is better.
(This is really a little OT here, but I feel I still should explain this.)
