Reasons to use the <span> in this case:
1) You never do it otherwise, so it's not like you'll have to go back and
edit a million different spans if something changes.
2) It will improve the cross-browser display and degradability of the site.
3) It's not like you're changing a style sheet element in the traditional
sense, eg, you're not setting a color or face on the font that could change
with a subsequent redesign, you're using it to make a standard typographic
symbol behave correctly in a browser that has a history of bad display.
I say use it and be glad there's a viable work-around.
