> Ah, I see what you're talking about. The "I" is in big caps, but the rest of the word is in small caps.

I found a more compelling example. cv_b0093.pdf in the paragraph on "Spelling", they mention that Thorodd used small capitals to serve as double-consonants, e.g., uBi, braT, meN for ubbi, bratt, menn. In these cases the majuscule capital is indeed the height of the minuscule letters.

Therefore I think <small> is necessary.
