Re: [csswg-drafts] [css2][css-inline] Definition of line-height calculations contradicts itself

According to the following test:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<style>
p { border: solid 1px black; color: silver; font-size: 100px; 
line-height: 1; margin: 0.1em;}
p > * { border: 1px dotted red; }
</style>

<p style="font-family: Ahem, SimSun"><span>Ép不</span>
<p style="font-family: SimSun, Ahem"><span>Ép不</span>
<p style="font-family: Ahem, SimSun"><span>不</span>

Blink and Gecko use the metrics of the first available font to 
determine the bounding box of any given inline.

Related test with multiple inlines (gives different results than font 
fallback):
<p style="font-family: SimSun"><span>不A</span><span 
style="font-family: Ahem">Ép</span>

I think this behavior makes sense and we should update the spec 
accordingly. It has the benefit of minimizing any line-height 
jitter.

“The height of the inline box encloses all glyphs and their 
half-leading on each side and is thus exactly 'line-height'.”

Afaict this would mean fixing the contradiction in favor of the second
 clause in this sentence, not the first.
