Perhaps so does yours. It isn't clear whether the CSS for .red-text would have
to over-ride the default behaviour whereby an inline element like <span> is
rendered by stacking it to the left or right (depending on text directionality)
of the previous inline element or text node, or if the accent should go over
the e by default.
Briefly testing on a Win2000 box I found that IE6 ignored the styling on the
accent, Mozilla1.4 didn't show the accent, and Opera7.2 displayed the red
accent (tests had the same results with ́ as with the combining
character used directly). It isn't clear to me which, if any, of these are
examples of conformant behaviour.
