Hi Andrew,

You can do as Lea said to have something behave like <br> in CSS. In 
fact that’s how <br> is implemented in some UAs.

Also note that in your markup, there is whitespace before and after each 
<span>. So you will most likely get the max width of "1 2 3" and "4 5 
6". I’ve seen work arounds like this:

...</span><!--
     --><span>...
