There have been two prior proposals for such properties sitting
around in the drafts of the linebox/inline module:
line-stacking-strategy (older) and my line-box-contain proposal,
which I believe we agreed to replace it with:
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-inline/#LineStacking

(With 'line-box-contain: block', only the block's line height sets
the line spacing.  It's a bit dangerous unless you know what's in
the block, though.)
