I'm going to have to think more about this when I'm more awake (6 week old
at home, give me a break:D) but my initial instinct was to remove the units
from the line height (based on your font size and desired line-height, the
resulting line-height would be "1.5") as there is plenty of documentation
on why units with line-height will cause unexpected results.  My second
thought was that line-height on block level is a minimum height, not a
maximum, and inline elements will inherit the value.  Long story short, set
your line-height to 1.5 and then give the span line-height of 1, thus
giving it the same line-height as it's parent, and it should even out.

I would like to know more about why this happens,but I'll have to look into
it another time.
