Visually, you'd rather want to center not on the "true" center, but on
something like half the x-height above the baseline: one would not want
different baselines for "Daisy" and "Joe". There is a complication that
with all-caps word, the x-height is not the same: one centers "Violin"
at a different height than "VIOLIN".

Hey, I just wrote an entire paragraph unnecessarily.

I am not overly enthused about downing extents for the purpose of
getting baselines heeded. It's not really intuitive.
