I think it depends on the kind of object that is embedded, more
specifically how it is meant to be vertically aligned. For an
embedded chart a solution like "ascent and descent are just half of
the chart's overall height" might work fine, but a math formula does
have a concept of ascent/descent, and those quantities should be
respected for the formula to be aligned correctly with the
surrounding text.

BTW, is this the reason why there's still a mathrun object in the
AbiWord source code?
