Yes, I think that works. As you say, under the very reasonable
assumption that UAs use (for Ahem) as content area height the same as
the font size.

I wanted to check what would happen in an hypothetical UA using 1 for
line-height (as Safari and IE8 do with Ahem) and wrongly rendering
the 2em vertical margins of the span inside the test div. To simulate
this I forced the line height, and made the span 'display:block' [1].
The word PASS does not completely disappear (it is rendered over the
div background). But it would not be complete and not 'below the
orange box', so the test would correctly fail (one could use 3em as
margin of the span to better cover 'PASS' in that simulated case, but
this is a completely unnecessary nitpicking :-)
Best,
Bruno
