Add

embed { display: none; }

to the styles-- it seems to be leaving a gap for the embed element at
the top.

What is embed anyway? It doesn't seem to be in HTML 4.01, and tidy tells
me: "Warning: <embed> is not approved by W3C".

The hidden attribute on embed is presumably what's supposed to translate
into display:none, but Opera may reasonably be having trouble with that.

It may be you should use object instead of embed.

That seems to be because you have set sup to vertical-align:text-top. If
you leave it as its default of vertical-align:super it looks better in
Opera.

Not quite sure why Opera is putting the apparently text-top aligned tone
numbers in the subscript position though.
