Ok, I see the problem. You have to ask yourself if the difference in
rendering is really worth moving away from semantic markup.
The CSS versions only look a bit visually awkward in instances of truly
pathological text size or browser window size, and the CSS versions are
still usable and accessible.

However, I'll spend a bit of time trying to come up with a fix, because
I find your problem interesting. If I should discover a way that works
better I'll post it, although I don't know of one off-hand.
