It looks like the XSL stylesheets don't give you much
help on this.  There is no parameter for this,
and currently 'lineannotation' is not
wrapped in a <span class="lineannotation"> for HTML output,
so CSS won't know how to select it.  It currently
just does plain character sequence:

<xsl:template match="lineannotation">
  <xsl:call-template name="inline.charseq"/>
</xsl:template>

You'd have to customize this template to add the <span> so
CSS would work:

<xsl:template match="lineannotation">
 <span class="lineannotation"><xsl:call-template name="inline.charseq"/></span>
</xsl:template>


I think this might make a good feature request for
the stylesheets.
