i'm not aware of any pure CSS solutions which allow inclusion of dynamic
content (CSS3 has some facility for prepending/appending static content,
IIRC), but applying a CSS class (e.g. timeline-date) to those fields (which
currently don't have such a CSS tag) would allow one to use JavaScript to
retroactively change them. e.g. using jQuery that might look like:

jQuery('.timeline-date').css({fontSize: '0.5em'})

would set the text to half of the default size. Getting the effect you want
(less wasted space) would be more involved, but would essentially follow
the same path. That said, some of the current HTML structure might not be
trivial to change with JS. e.g. not all browsers handle removing a TD
element elegantly, and may (or may not) leave a big gap where the TD used
to be.

i _think_ the JS code and the C code are a bit intertwined/co-dependent
there, but i'll have to take a look at that before i can answer
definitively. In any case, i'll get some CSS markers added to the output so
that this sort of customization is more feasible. i'm off work today, so
i'll get on this now.
