The automatically generated spans around template calls easily create invalid html, e.g. by adding spans directly inside table elements. Also, library templates that replace built-ins currently all need the no-span modifier (unnecessary boilerplate code).

To ease the migration for applications that actually use these spans (as hooks for CSS), we can add a span modifier for templates to include the previously automatic span.
