I was speaking out of memory. I had tried a lot of combinations when I
implemented the TeX rules about sub/superscript placement, but I was
confusing some cases, apparently.
What I said is true for G^1 and e^1, as both have the same height,
but not for {Ge}^1 which indeed has a different height. I quickly
checked that this is so because of rule G/18a and I am glad to see
that this difference can also be seen on the LyX screen, meaning that
I must have done a good job ;-)
