Part of the way into revising my little site, I noticed that the
top edge each floated image was about four pixels above the top of
the 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.
Exactly so. In addition, I believe there may be additional space above
each capital letter for diacritical marks. Anyone?
Cordially,
David
