Well....  That depends on whether whitespace trimming happens before or 
after baseline determination, right?

I believe in gecko it happens before, so no matter how many spaces you 
stick in there the baseline is the same as if it were empty...  What 
about in other UAs?

But yes, this is what we need to define.  I'm ok with putting the 
baseline at the after outer edge, I think.
