 * I just tried applying <sup> tags to a number, but instead of raising it above
   the baseline, it lowered it below the baseline.

 * OK, I did some further testing. It turns out that the actions for `<sub>` and`
   <sup>` are reversed. If you apply the superscript tags, the tagged text is placed
   as a subscript. If you use the subscript tag, the tagged text is placed as a 
   superscript.
