inlineblock / baselinePosition

[David Hyatt]

The main reason is that inline blocks are potentially supposed to align 
along the baseline of the first line box contained inside the inline 
block.  That's what some members of the CSS WG want to do at any rate, 
but they hadn't really reached a consensus yet.  I even wrote the 
methods to find the baseline of the first line box, etc., but ended up 
not using them yet, since I'm still waiting to find out what the 
decision is.
