Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this example actually one for using
<cite>, as in "come and hear <cite>Ben Barren</cite> speak about…"?* I
can't see why you would want to use your span construct over this; it
looks a lot messier and, from a pure HTML perspective, isn't as
semantic.

*) Serious question. I could be completely off on this. :-)
