We discussed this (david and me) before, and we agreed that having different
fonts on one line or a bigger font somewhere should not be the character
to decide the line height. The line height should always come from the 
style. (as long as the 'bigger' chars fits, naturally).

So your question is not needed, if you just allow percentile sizes and 
use the correct font size. You are save..
Use a 120% size and both cols should flow the way you want. Even with 
slightly bigger fonts or superscript etc.

I don't know if this is implemented yet, but thats the idea.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
