Wow, I didn't even notice our the behavior with different fonts in the same
table cell.

Actually, no, that's not what I'm asking for. I mean, I am asking that all of
the letters in the same cell be aligned at the baselines, for sure; but I'm
also asking that, for each row, the baselines in both cells of the row to be
the same; and MSO does not equate them.

Yes, that's true. But - let's put this consideration aside, i.e. suppose that
either we decide our rendering was buggy before, or alternatively, we adopt the
new behavior along with some indicator in the ODF which older documents wont
have. I would like us to figure out / decide what is the _appropriate_
behavior: What is best for our users to get (and perhaps whether there is more
than one valid expectation, in which case perhaps we need some kind of
configurable choice). After deciding that in the abstract, let's talk about
feasibility, necessary effort, backwards compatibility concerns etc.
