You wrote that CSS originally does not specify that the default is to
cut through descenders.  That means that different browsers are free
to do what they wish, no?  So, your browser happened to choose to cut
through descenders while still being standard conformant for many
years.  That forms a culture for you.  Now come to think about this:
if every browser had chosen to not cut through descenders, would you
had any problem with the current CSS strengthening the default to not
cut through descenders?
