If it has not been 'line-height', it perhaps was some hackery for quirks 
modes, where unitless numbers are often interpreted as pixel values. You 
could use these to feed different values to different browsers/rendering 
modes, when this bug coincides with others (like IE's infamous 
alternative box model).
