Thanks for your suggestion. It's getting closer, but if you
look at the results:
<http://cboh.org/spantest2.html>
you'll see adding padding increases the height of the container,
and as the text in the cell increases (folds onto multiple lines),
the height increases even more. The vertical size apparently
becomes 100% of the original container height, plus the height
of the text. Surely there must be a way of expand the <a> tag
vertically without increasing the container height (unless there
is so much text involved that it becomes necessary to do so).
