Reassigning to Nisheeth for further triage.

Part of clayton bug list triage. Erik, it seems that we are using the height of the text around the link to calculate the height of the line even though the link text's height is larger. Erik, since you are the new owner of text layout, re-assigning to you... Ccing buster and waterson.

Ian, I'm not sure about the CSS compliance issues in this one. Are we supposed to paint the background at the SPAN's height, or the A's height?

The testcase is no longer available, but based on the initial description, it seems to me we are doing the right thing. To get the effect wanted, the A element should inherit the background of the SPAN, but by default it is 'transparent', not 'inherit'. INVALID?
Whiteboard: INVALID?
Thanks to Ilya, who put the test page back up. Cheers! This bug is indeed invalid. We are doing this right thing. Marking INVALID.
