Here are a few of the things I'm fixing:
1. TextSlaves paint the backgrounds/borders/outlines of their parent 
inlines.  This means you can end up painting in the wrong places (or 
not painting at all) when another inline gets in the way, e.g., 
<a>First <i>Second</i> Third</a>.
2. Text-decoration is painted by the text runs, when it should be drawn 
by the parent inline element (and able to extend under/through elements 
like images and form controls.
3. Space isn't left for descent on lines with no text (e.g., 
<td><img></td>).  In strict mode that space should be left (this issue 
is the reason "almost strict" mode needs to exist).
4. There are numerous issues with :first-line as well.

Basically the code I'm working on now makes boxes for inlines (just as 
RenderText makes TextSlaves for its runs).  The inline boxes are doing 
their own painting of their borders/backgrounds and text decorations.
