[RC6] line-height-bleed-001, 002 and 003 are imprecise or incorrect

Arron,

[RC6]
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/line-height-bleed-001.htm

The test is correct but

<meta name="assert" content="Glyphs bleed out of the box when
'line-height' is less than the content height and the height of the box
is not increased.">

should be instead

<meta name="assert" content="Glyphs bleed out of their line box when
'line-height' is less than the content height.">

The chunk "and the height of the box is not increased" in the text
assert seems to me to be wrong.

This one is incorrect, wrong and deserves a re-write. And I think the
spec is guilty of imprecision too. More on that later, in www-style
mailing list.

Proposal:

Opera 11.60 overlaps/bleeds over strangely..

This one is incorrect, wrong. You see, if I replace

        <div>
            <span>Filler Text<br>Filler Text</span>
        </div>

with

        <div>
            <span>pqjgy<br>TTTT</span>
        </div>

then the vertical gap is almost nil or, at best, extremely thin. The
thing is we still can not see - in a convincing manner - how the line
box can be taller than content area in the test. The glyphs of the
<span>pqjgy<br>TTTT</span> are trying to illustrate the max-descent of
previous line box when close to max-ascent of next line box.

I am convinced this line-height-bleed-003 test is not testing what it
wanted/meant to test in the first place.

Christmas present proposal :) :
