The reason the output is being wrapped in <p> tags is that the output of
your extension is detected by the Parser as being something other than a
block level element[1]. If your extension would output a <div> or <pre> tag
instead of <span>, you might see a difference.

Sigh, having written a couple of extensions to (separately) insert HTML
opening and closing tags into pages, I find that the output of those
extension tags is being wrapped in <p>...</p>. This occurs even if I
don't put line breaks before/after the tags (and omitting line breaks
messes other things up anyway).
For example, one of my tags outputs: <span style="display:block;
float:left; width:33%">
and in the HTML I get:
<p><span style="display:block; float:left; width:33%">
</p>
which is not only not what I want, but also incorrect HTML!
Thanks,
