This issue seems to have been solved in newer versions. I was using the version from 2003. I just updated tidy on my machine with 2009'th version and with that the output is like below.
content: word<i><span> <span>ratti</span></span></i>
command: tidy file.html
output: word <i><span><span>ratti</span></span></i>
So it is preserving space now, however it does not delete the span tag, anyway this looks like a proper answer to the question.
