Thank you for this pointer!

So it is *not* the maximum vertical extent above / below the baseline for a
given font? I made a wrong assumption here - I'm remembering my LaTeX and
TeX days...

maybe using \null iso \strut is what you want!?

I don't know, all I wanted was to "fix" the baseline skips at start and end
of line-wrapped text sections by adding this "construct" at start and end
of each "text section". Probably this is not eh way to go.
