remove br code

It’s possible to remove from the follow code in the next release and use a css instead?

print '<li><span>'.tp_convert_links($tweet['text']).'</span><br /><a class="twitter_time" target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/'.$instance['username'].'/statuses/'.$tweet['status_id'].'">'.tp_relative_time($tweet['created_at']).'</a></li>';

Thank you
