<tip type="Making SUP tags consistent cross-browser" author="Stephen
Rider">
Are superscripts screwing up your line spacing in some
*cough*IE*cough* browsers?
Try dropping this in your default stylesheet:
sup {
position: relative;
top: -3px;
vertical-align: top;
font-size: 90%; /* You can change this value, but DO specify a %
size */
}
I've tested this in IE 6 (Win), Safari (Mac), Firefox (Mac and Win),
and Opera (Mac). It corrects line heights getting pushed around, and
normalizes the size of the superscripted text.
Caveat: This does NOT fix line spacing in IE 5 Mac. If someone
figures that one out, please let me know!

Have a nice weekend,
