Can I do <SPAN> length?

[Yeah]

I'd like to have a blank space between <SPAN> and </SPAN>. But I'd also like
to specify the length of that space without using a bunch of &nbsp;'s. Is
there any way to do this with CSS?

None I'm aware of. There has to be some element in the span. I've used
<IMG> tags on a 1px GIF with sizing by using WIDTH= and HEIGHT= options.
There may be other ways of doing it, but a IMG seems to work with all
the browsers I test on.

That sounds like inappropriate use of markup and styling.

Yes, but you'd have to justify it's usage first.

Please configure your news reader to use standard quote prefixes (">"),
and to inject an attribute line on top of follow ups (something like the
one above this message).

It is proprietary for Mozilla/Firefox which does not support
inline-block due to a bug. It is a fix to provide that capability. No
idea why they used box instead of block. Have not checked, but probably
looking ahead at CSS3 box model.

Mozilla follows the convention for proprietary properties with the -moz-
prefix. Opera uses -op- (or is it -opera- ?) whereas MS goes its own way
by using ms- . These properties are mainly used for CSS3 trial testing,
prior to actual Recommendation.
