Of course: as soon as the padding/spacing is tight enough that the descenders of a text would collide/overlap with a grob below the text! I personally think the stencil extent (or at least skylines) should *always* take descenders into account — to avoid collisions — BUT there should be a way align texts to a baseline, set a fixed leading, etc. My 2¢ (Canadian)!
