Yes, that would of course work. The problem is, it doesn't provide anything for the readers/devices that don't recognize small-caps, which are unfortunately plentiful. Hmmmph. Maybe a bold? That would not be extra-special, heavens knows, but it would at least be "sumpin-sumpin." Of course, a bolded smallcaps might be overpowering to the page...
urghghghg. ADE, why do you have to be so ornery?
@Cyb: yes. Breaking the first line with multiple spans just seems to make it go bonkers, no matter what they are. This is what we discovered a few years back with the dreaded Raised-Initial/smallcaps first line effort.
