Comment:

 Both solutions fail when it comes to re-rendering a label after its text
 and the number of lines have changed. Also both rely on a correctly set
 style.fontSize, but I think that labels should also work if a custom style
 doesn't specify the font size.

 The attached patch (OpenLayers-multi-row-labels.patch) fixes both issues,
 and reuses existing <text> and <tspan> DOM nodes to the maximum possible
 extent. It has been tested in a production environment and appears to work
 flawlessly there.

 Please review it and consider it for inclusion into 2.11.
