I wanted to share one more situation—in multi-column layouts, I often wish I could set the top margin directly to the baseline to make sure make sure two bits of differently sized text are base-aligned:

![A two column layout, where the headlines are base-aligned, and it's 70px from the top of the page to each headline's baseline](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/709153/47391218-1b094700-d6ce-11e8-80ee-3125dab8d040.png)

Something like `leading-trim-over: ideographic-bottom` would let you easily achieve baseline alignments while sticking to a standard spacing convention (for example, increments of 10px).
