[webkit-dev] mfenced - more MathML questions

[David Hyatt]

So fencing should extend from the line top to the line bottom it  
sounds like without affecting the overall height of the line?  Have  
you tried placing them with a y position of the root line box's line  
top and a height of line bottom - line top?
