The <span> tag is an inline HTML tag so it may be better to place it with  
other 'inline' rules (instead of '<block' use 'inline').

BTW the block function you use is somewhat complex because we want it  
automatically to close previously opened tags of the same level. If you  
don't mind manually closing every open tag, there may be a much simpler  
markup rule:

  Markup('span', 'inline', '/\\(:span +(\\s?.*?):\\)/ie',
    '"<span ".PQA(PSS("$1")).">"');
  Markup('spanend', 'inline', '/\\(:span(end)?:\\)/i', '</span>');

Then in a wiki page, use
  (:span title="this is a tooltip" style="color:red;":)red text(:span:)
  (:span title="Tooltip":)some (:span style="color:red;":)red(:span:) text(:span:)

I have here (:span:) with no arguments the same as (:spanend:).

Just note that if you don't close every open <span> tag, your page may have  
non-standard output. Also note that an open <span> tag must be closed with  
</span> inside the same block tag (<div>, <p>, <td> etc.) for the output to  
be valid.
