Yes. The notes are joined together with \n internally, so I think a 
well-placed newline_to_br in the undo and history management pages would make 
sense.

Hmm. They are actually joined with \n\n. I wonder if there is a good reason 
for having two of them.

Easy. Just set the first note with something that begins with the appropriate 
url. Check out ZopeUndo/Prefix.py and App/Undo.py for the details.
