In my view, this sort of layout is only really appropriate for final 
form images.  If it is allowed in HTML, you will find that a lot of 
authors use platform specific fonts or fail to test it with font size or 
font property changes disabled by the user.

If this sort of effect is important, I'd suggest using tagged PDF 
instead (SVG can do it visually, but has weaker support for structural 
overlays).
