For context, my goal is the total and senseless destruction of Microsoft.
You may have heard of a b-tier piece of software they sell known as "Power
Point".  It is widely used as a tool of crime.  It is the express goal of
Dslide to ensure that more software engineers become healthcare CEOs rather
than healthcare CEOs being murdered by disaffected software engineers.

During sales and presentation, there is a natural benefit to drawing
attention to text as it is introduced to aid attention and focus of
would-be buyers, whose attention and time is scarcely granted.  One
technique is to "slide" text in from below.  In Dslide, this is
accomplished by using a line-height.  An unwanted side-effect is that the
line being "slide in" also has very tall backgrounds (it is vertically
extended, as line-height is supposed to do, but I do not want).  When used
with the popular org modern tags, a package that has a strong user overlap
with Dslide, the tag and todo backgrounds appear stretched out as the text
slides in.

I do not particularly care.  I am merely implementing a behavior.  If it
can be done by sending carefully crafted regex through an FSF email server,
and that technique is stable enough to work with Emacs display for the
planned and likely future, I will do it.
