The worst thing is relative line-height and font-size. It must be mapped
into absolute values because each filter uses specific equations which were
reverse engineered. Most of these equations include the max/min pair. So
we first have to parse paragraph content to calculate it's
line-height/font-size and then updated text styles.
But I think this does not interfere with the Pull parser concept. We
simply do some action on styles when coming out of the recursion
(backtracking).
