Using span together with a width property can be a very effective way to set up
organised text, without the problems of extremly colspaned tables. Unfortunatly
the style width is totally ignored, while it works perfekt in IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
see abouve any span with a style width will do

Actual Results:  
The width is ignored.

Expected Results:  
Interpret the width property if existing
From the standards:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#Computing_widths_and_margins

"10.3.1 Inline, non-replaced elements

The 'width' property does not apply."

Span is inline. Bug is INVALID. Correct way to get width between inline elements
is setting a margin. Like
<span style="margin-right:200px">
Summary: with <span style="width: 50px;"> width information is ignored (in contrast to IE). → with <span style="width: 50px;"> width information is ignored (in contrast to IE).
