The 'vertical-align' property in CSS 2.1 will take care of your need.
The CSS 2.1 'vertical-align' is found at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#line-height
Test cases: http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/tests/css2/sec10-08b.htm

Subject: CSS manipulation of font positioning relative to baseline
My first posting, I found this ML via Gmane, but did not a FAQ. Hope
this is the place to ask such questions:
In LaTeX it is possible to typeset the text content of its
enclosing "box" aligned to the top or bottom of the box. Is such
control possible using CSS also, or is the space between an
individual letter and the top and bottom of its "box" (visible if a
border is drawn with padding equal to 0px) unmanageable (I.e., tied
to the line-height)? If so, then I suppose this will be one of the
next steps to take in the improvement of rendering engines?
Many thanks in advance,
Gernot
