    Test case: Included so this question still makes sense after the content at the given URL changes:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html><head><style type="text/css">
div {
  float: left;
  clear: left;
  margin: 3px;
}
span {
  border: 1px solid;
}
</style></head><body>

<!-- does not show right border -->
<div><span>With trailing space, no width </span></div> 

<!-- does show right border -->
<div><span>No trailing space, no width</span></div>
<div style="width: 40ex;"><span>With trailing space, has width </span></div>
<div style="width: 40ex;"><span>No trailing space, has width</span></div>

</body></html>
