No, it means that the size of the text element is the size of all its
content, including its children. Theabc and the def are rendered witha
horizontal gradient, and have a hole in between them big enough to
accomodate the tspan; the def is rendered in this hole witha vertical
gradient.

However, I would check what happens with text-decoration: underline. IIRC
the underline is not inherited and would thus have the horizontal gradient.
