If you mean line boxes, you'd need to define how this property interacts with 'vertical-align', since they do very similar things. If you mean inline boxes (which I *think* you do), I'd think you'd need to define how it moves the inline box in some cases (for example, you'd still want the baseline of text baseline-aligned, so you'd want the inline box to move around the text, rather than the text to move within the inline box). That said, what are the use cases for this? When is it useful? (Can it be useful in cases where the author doesn't necessarily know what fonts are going to be used?) -David -- L.
