    I would like to see a face property `raise' with the same semantics as
    the display property `raise'.

I don't think so.  Raising is not a matter of how something is displayed,
but where it is displayed.

Some unsophisticated text formatters treated superscript as if it
were a font, but more sophisticated ones don't.
