It's somewhat eccentric to use <div>s here instead of <span>s here,
since <span> are "inline" while <div> are "blocks" (which is why shr
breaks the line), but it's totally normal to not care: The CSS on the
web site will just override with whatever display: foo the web site
designer wants.

Deciding to change shr to load external resources (for CSS etc) would be
a big step..
