I strongly support using almost anything other than `leading`. As @scottkellum already mentioned, it's a confusing and inconsistently used term which doesn't even fully make sense in this situation. I would even go as far as to say `leading` should be avoided for *any* typographic CSS terminology. (I'm very happy they named it `line-height` and not `leading`.) The `text-box` naming seems like a good alternative to me, not only because it removes any of the confusion built in to `leading`, but also because it's just naturally more intuitive and accessible. Eliminating the need for a history lesson about thin strips of physical metal used in traditional typesetting (never mind how to pronounce it), means one less hurdle to learn these new properties. -- GitHub Notification of comment by nicksherman Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8067#issuecomment-1440576073 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
