title: Aligning a character to the top of adjacent letters
body: <p>I wish to align a character in HTML to the tops of the characters next to it.  The css vertical-align attribute seems to be what I want, but I'm having some trouble.</p>
  
  <p>Using <code>vertical-align: text-top</code> doesn't seem to do what I want, but I thought it should from reading the spec.</p>
  
  <p>Currently, I'm using <code>vertical-align: 10%</code> which is a reasonable solution, except that I have to calculate the proper number on each platform to get it to look right. Browser detecting to set the value to one that I think is probably right seems like the wrong solution.</p>
