Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text] Allow letter-spacing to have unitless values like line-height (#2165)

Not sure how I feel about this... the inconsistency is regrettable, but the proposed behavior here (inheriting as a percentage and resolving "late") is more useful than computing to a <length> and inheriting that, and expressing the value as a percentage seems better than a unitless number.

The behavior of `line-height: <percentage>` seems more like an unfortunate (but no doubt unchangeable) legacy misfeature than a desirable feature; it would be sad if it forever blocks us from using percentage values in a more useful way in new properties.
