This causes multiple problems:
* It means that <p><span style="font-size:2em">text</span></p> has
overlapping text.
* It means that <p>text <span style="font-size:0.7em">text</span>
text</p> has *wider* lines on the lines with the small text
because the half-leading for the small text is larger and thus
extends lower.
