This sounds like a good explanation, but does not completely suffice
to explain Mozilla/Safari behavior. Try playing with the font sizes
in the two divs using display: table-cell and you'll see that the
alignment isn't really set to the baseline. If the first element has
a very large font-size, the second element appears to align the text
*top* to the bottom of the first element's text baseline. This is
already non-compliant, as far as I can see. Even more strangely, if
you incrementally increase the font-size in the second element,
you'll see that the alignment of the top moves up past the apparent
baseline.
I can't get this behavior to line up with what is described in the spec.
