FormatMessage texts are enclosed in <span> elements - change element / remove it?

[ieugen]

Hello,

Is there any way of changing the to another element or even better - remove the enclosing element ?

I think React 16 allows for having components that do not need enclosing tags.

Thanks,

I am open to remove and/or use React.Fragments when needed being cautious to update react.js peer dependency if necessary. PR welcome. Thanks

Hello @rxaviers , We would like to fix a bug (feature?!). However I've noticed that the project has open PR's since 2015 - 2017 . I'm not that keen on providing a PR without a chance of it reaching upstream.

Could you please provide some feedback for this? And maybe merge the outstanding open PR's ?!
I've noticed some of the changes are yours.

As a plan, I would like to:

• update dependencies
• implement feature/bug
• write tests
