Part of the way into revising my little site, I noticed that the top

capital letter(s) of the text that immediately followed. I found a
solution; using padding to push the image down a bit. But I never
understood why that four-pixel disparity was there in the first place?

This space is called "half-leading". It is half the difference between the
value of line-height and font-size. If the image does not have the same
space above it, it is because leading is not applied to replaced elements.

If it takes me a thousand years I will never remember to forget to
"nit-pick" and to /validate the markup/ of a new-site or a makeover of
an old-site to a strict or html5 doctype.
