My phrasing was unfortunately ambiguous. You're correct: fossil does
reformat. My intended meaning was, "if i had my way, fossil would not do
that." (But i believe i'm in the minority on that opinion. ;)

A SPAN is not a block element, but perhaps we should consider making the
comment lines DIVs instead (since DIVs are block elements)?

Another option: you can convert a timelineComment span to a block element
with CSS:

span.timelineComment {
  display: block
}
