Doing that would require changes on the C level, because line spacing
is implemented in the display engine.  AFAICS, it looks like a simple
change, but Someone(TM) should describe the details of how
line-spacing should be distributed between above and below the base
character line, because I have no idea what is TRT here.

Also, I don't know whether any packages out there rely on the current
implementation; if they do, we will have to introduce an option to
control this behavior, so that the old behavior could be preserved if
needed.
