Description

Span elements with data-mw and data-parsoid are getting lost when parsed by LinearDoc.js. This happens in the case spans contains empty or just new line.

This cause inconsistent behavior while handling templates at client side.

Steps to reproduce

http://parsoid.wmflabs.org/eswiki/Bangalore?oldid=75955225 has the infobox table and its associated span with about=#mwt3

But http://cxserver.wmflabs.org/page/es/Bangalore does not have a span with about=#mwt3

Version: master
Severity: normal
