Control the font-size to your taste (typically it should be a little smaller
than the main text).
(ideally I’d use `ex` units for `top` and `bottom`, but support for that is
_still_ spotty)

I’ve always wondered why that stylesheet sets the line-height on the `sub` and
`sup` to `0`. I never had a problem with letting the line-height inherit from
the parent element (default behaviour).
