Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-rhythm-1] Avoiding accidental double spacing

Thank you for your replies, it gave me a new understanding of the problem.

Is this issue suggesting to add e.g., `auto` to compute the step unit from the used line height? If that's the case, I'm ok with it, it's just not in any use cases and no one made such requests ever.

With Line Grid, as far as I talk to web developers, they normally want different line height from grid, so their usual CSS looks like:
```css
.line-grid {
  line-height: 1.4;
  -webkit-line-grid: create;
  -webkit-line-snap: contain;
}
.line-grid > * {
  line-height: 1.2 or normal or some other values;
}
```
If author uses `normal` to make the design i18n-friendly, [here is the modified example jsbin (again for Safari to view)](http://output.jsbin.com/mevuzex/). As you can see it, if the content uses taller fonts, there's a fallback that causes everything to be double-spaced.

So I don't see much differences, but I understand our assumption on how authors use Line Grid is different, and if `auto` can save some English cases, I'm fine to add it.
