RE: baseline problem

I think it's a question of knowing how much to shift, which may vary by
font, whether the particular string has ascenders, etc.

Why not just use 'baseline-shift'? Am I missing something here?

<svg>
   <line x1='5' y1='100' x2='695' y2='100' style='stroke:red;
stroke-width:1; fill:none; '/>
   <text x='300' y='100' style='fill:black; text-anchor:middle;
font-size:16px;'>
      <tspan style='baseline-shift:baseline;'>
         baseline
      </tspan>
      <tspan style='baseline-shift:sub;'>
         sub
      </tspan>
      <tspan style='baseline-shift:super;'>
         super
      </tspan>
      <tspan style='baseline-shift:-33%;'>
         percentage (-33%)
      </tspan>
      <tspan style='baseline-shift:3px;'>
         length (3px)
      </tspan>
      <tspan style='baseline-shift:-80%;'>
         Baseline-Shift (-80%)
      </tspan>
   </text>
</svg>


Hope that helps-
