'Initial-letter' fixes these issues. I set it to 3 lines high and the drop cap will sit on the base line of the third line, easy as that.
Drop caps do get used pretty often and this works much better than the workarounds people have to use for ePub2.

Initial-letter will not fix drop cap issues. It's the same code other then it's not a span.
As for drop caps being used pretty often, not so. And for those times I do find drop caps or larger letter used, I drop them as they are useless.
