appended <span> tag to <ul><li> tags

Dear Team,
I am facing a problem when adding html content to ckeditor source.
I have the html content like this :
<ul>
<li>
<span>
<h4 class="title"><a href="">XXXXXXXXXXXXX</a></h4>
<ul>
<li>Canon</li>
<li>Nokia </li>
</ul>
</span>
</li>
</ul>

I added the above html content to textarea after selecting 'source' button. When i see the preview i get the output what i expected.
But When i click the source button again the above html content will be changed to
<ul>
<li>
<h4 class="title">
<span><a href="">XXXXXXXXXXXXX</a></span></h4>
<ul>
<li>
<span>Canon</span></li>
<li>
<span>Nokia </span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
This changes the look of the view and distrubs the page appearance. Please tell me where can i do the modification to stop appending the '<span>' tag.
I am using the ckeditor version: 3.0.1
Revision: 4391.
I would be thankful for any help.

Regards,
SridharReddy

Re: appended <span> tag to <ul><li> tags

Your original HTML is weird, which is giving the editor issues probably. There's lots of funky things going on at the top with the weird a tags and unclosed list elements. IMHO shouldn't it be:

<ul>
<li><h4 class="title"><a href="">XXXXXXXXXXXXX</a></h4></li>
<ul>
<li>Canon</li>
<li>Nokia </li>
</ul>
</span>
</li>
</ul>
