Vertically align text next to an image?

Why won't vertical-align: middle work? And yet, vertical-align: top does work.
<div>
   <img style="width:30px;height:30px">
   <span style="vertical-align:middle">Doesn't work.</span>
</div>


Solution:

Actually, in this case it's quite simple: apply the vertical align to the image. Since it's all in one line, it's really the image you want aligned, not the text.
<!-- moved "vertical-align:middle" style from span to img -->
<div>
  <img style="vertical-align:middle" src="https://placehold.it/60x60">
  <span style="">Works.</span>
</div>


Tested in FF3.
