In my EPUB readers, the line-height trick works for me with raised caps and (sub|super)scripts. But maybe that's because I don't typically use many different fonts (and only use a 3-4em font-size for raised-caps). If the spacing is still different after that, then it's too subtle for my eyes to care about. But regardless ... I see now that pdurrant's wishes were to not have to diddle the line-height attribute when dealing with (sub|super)scripts in the first place.
