Re: baseline-shift

Most likely since 'baseline-shift' has existed in a W3C Recommendation
since late 2006 (XSL-FO), whilst the CSS reference is still a Candidate
Recommendation (2 steps to get finished:-)

See:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#baseline-shift

So, IMHO deprecation is not particularly sensible.
