Yes - good stuff. I would add that fonts with large ex-heights 
relative to em (aspects) tend to require more leading than otherwise, 
since relatively generous ascent/descent is optically akin to 
leading. 

--------------------------
It strikes me that the definition of font-size: normal is wrong. 

When I read the footnote on the suggested page, I thought 'Yeah, but
what about the font's x-height'.

But then I realised that <normal> doesn't vary according to the x-height
either, and that this might be wrong.
