In terms of getting the space to appear cross-browser, how about adding some padding-right for the H element?

Logically an H tag marks the header for content that follows it - but not for the preceding content. That holds true no matter how you set the visual rendering rules.

So, depending on the content involved, I'd say this might be a "correct" use of the H tag. But I'd be very careful about how you execute. A run-in head can be very useful, but using the H tag for phrases that have both preceding text and following text seems odd to me.

Certainly, don't pepper the page with these run-in H tags around every one of your keywords. If everything's in an H tag, it can be like NOTHING's in an H tag. The best bet is to use H tags to highlight the page's logical structure.
