[webkit-dev] mfenced - more MathML questions

[David Hyatt]

I guess that might make the fence too tall if something outside of it  
is taller than what's inside.  You may have to just drill into your  
children line boxes in order to compute your top and your bottom  
position.  We don't really have the concept of caching "line top" and  
"line bottom" except on the root line box....
