Other downside of this would be the performance hit of looking up all those
signatures. Some pages have hundreds, if not thousands, of different users'
signatures.
Another issue if you try to do something like this is that on some
projects, the timestamps are often included inside the signature. And
given the visual disparity of the signatures themselves, we also
sometimes just look at prominently styled signatures and gauge the
general time period from the appearance instead of reading the entire
timestamp, since reading visual affordances like that tends to be quicker.
Wrapping the entire thing in a <sig> without trying to do anything
overly fancy to the content, however, wouldn't pose any problems here.
