The initial value for vertical-align, baseline, applies. It affects the inline level elements in a line box. Therefore, the image, being inline by default, should align with the baseline of the parent <a>-element. CSS 2.1: 9.4.2 Inline formatting context; CSS 2.1: 10.8 Line height calculations: the 'line-height' and 'vertical-align' properties. The absolute vertical position of the baseline depends on the font metrics.
