$('<span> </span>') ie bug - jQuery 1.2.6 & 1.3 both

Description
$('<span> </span>').contents().length is 1 in firefox and safari, 0 in ie (6 & 7).
(maybe hard to read: this is a span containing a single space)
I have a work-around: $('<span/>').text(' ').contents().length is 1 everywhere.
jQuery 1.2.6 & 1.3 both.

That's actually the way contents() works:
http://api.jquery.com/contents/
As .html() mentions, browsers don't always treat white space the exact same way. That's outside the control of jQuery though.
