I'd love to see some discussion about how we could incorporate better backgrounds for inline elements directly in CSS.

Could we have `box-decoration: merge` that paints the backgrounds on a multi-line inline element as one operation, after merging together?

Or for the issue of the background of one inline overlapping the text of the previous line, a property like `paint-order` to send them to the back?

Or `background-clip: line-boxes` for when the full block should have highlight?
