I have had good success with this as well. It is a pretty decent method that
does not break your line spacing.
An alternate method that I've also used is:
.sup {
font-size: 0.67em;
position: relative;
top: -0.33em;
}
.sub {
font-size: 0.67em;
position: relative;
bottom: -0.2 em;
}
An example using inline styles can be found here:

That example uses a standard forward slash (solidus). A better appearance
can be gotten using a fraction slash (u2044).
