Specification problem - lineHeight normal.

The specification for value 'normal' for lineHeight has a possible problem when used in a <p> element.

The spec says:
"If the value of this attribute is normal, then the initial value of the style property must be considered to be the same as the largest font size that applies to any child element".

But with nested span's, it's possible that the largest font would be in an nested span not a child span; perhaps it should read:

"If the value of this attribute is normal, then the initial value of the style property must be considered to be the same as the largest font size that applies to any descendant element".
