This is a hack to make the visual design work in your layout. We all make
our own judgment on that, however we can say that is an improper use of
<span>.

The correct CSS to use in this instance would be :after, asking the
browser to put in your little orange dots after the links in that section.
  Unfortunately, browser support in this area sucks. But in a few years, we
will (hopefully) be able to leave behind all of our CSS hacks just as
we're starting to leave behind the HTML ones.
