Thanks for the additional input.
I've sort of concluded that the way vertical-align:middle works is
this: The vertical midpoint of the inline element being vertically
aligned is aligned with an imaginary line which runs parallel to the
baseline and at a distance of one-half the applicable font-height
above it. The preceding sentence applies even if there are no actual
textual characters in the line.
As near as I can tell that's pretty much it. How one gets from the
typical explanations that I read all over the Net to that remains a
mystery to me.
Thanks again for the input.
