Hmmm, the approach I took with my skin was to do something like this in
the template:
<!--markup:(:if auth edit:)(:include {$Group}.PageActions {$SiteGroup}.PageActions:)(:if !auth edit:)[[{$FullName}?action=login|Login]](:ifend:)-->

(though I actually used (:if enabled AuthPw:) which checks if they're
logged in)

But, yes the above approach does wrap this in <p> tags, so it probably
won't suit you.
