This is the correct behavior.  It is the responsibility of the author to ensure
that there is enough space.  See:
 * CSS2 9.9, which says "Boxes with the same stack level in a stacking context
are stacked bottom-to-top according to document tree order."  (Also see 9.5,
which has rules for layers and floats that do *not* cause any layer splitting here.)
 * CSS2 10.6.1 and 10.8, which describe the model for vertical formatting of
inline elements

Konqueror has the same behavior as we do.  Opera does something (noncompliant)
with extra layers to avoid this.

David,

To emphasize my point further, i took a screen shot of the attached testcase in
the Opera browser and then in the Netscape browser.

Opera :-  "padding-top" does not overwrite the text on the top lines.
Netscape:- this does

I know.  Opera's wrong.

indeed, inline element backgrounds are rendered on the 'inline' layer in CSS2.
(the three layers being "in flow box", "floating boxes", and "inline", in that
order bottom-to-top). VERIFIED INVALID
