Actually, I don't agree that span based padding wouldn't work. It would
work if accompanied by box-decoration-break:clone. That is, the following
HTML excerpt would produce the results of your example while handling
different line breaks properly. The only problem is that I can't find a
browser that implements clone on padding. Opera implements clone on border
and shadow, but not on padding (yet) -- I've reported a bug.

<p><span style="background-color: #CCC; padding: 0px 20px;
box-decoration-break: clone; font-size: 64pt; font-family:
monospace;">Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious
Bandersnatch!</span></p>
