One last comment on the above:  In the early days of my parser work, I tried
to use the characteristics of the underlying draw operations to attempt to
"intuit" what the content was trying to do (i.e. gaps between words,
superscript, etc...).  I have come to a point where I am 100% convinced that
this approach will just not work.  Algorithms need to be able to determine
the characteristic of the render operation based purely on layout
information.  So while Rise may indicate supescript, any algorithm that is
really trying to figure this stuff out should rely only on the fact that the
text is positioned such that it *looks* like superscript.
