The change from getBaselineOffset() to computeBaselineOffset() is just to make it clear this method is responsible for computing this value not getting one someone else has computed. We are not passing insets into computeBaselineOffset() because we so far have never needed them, they are easy to get with the snappedXXX methods if needed.
