Granted.

My original proposal  for all browsers was fake small-caps for all 
browsers like so (no problem in any browser, no line-height needed).

#nav ul li a {
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-size: 80%;
}

However, the person it is being done for still lives and breathes hot-metal 
(literally). He's gonna have small-caps even if it means defying reality to get 
'em.
