Thank you, guys. Crystall clear now.
Source of my doubts was the fact that Gecko and Opera/InternetExplorer
disagree about image position in my sample.
And about name of the value. 'middle' is actually should have name
'text-middle' as it use font attributes as 'text-top' and 'text-bottom'.
'top' and 'bottom' use line box height, my initial thought was 'middle' is
also using line box height.
For now vertical-align: middle for elements logically conflicts with
vertical-align: middle for containers.
And how to place image in the middle of line box (height)?
