Which effectively breaks line-height in the simple case (set it on a
block, have it used for the text in that block), because you have to
worry about whether there are some random <p> or <div> tags inside that
block.
May as well simply not implement line-height.

Actually, no. It specified it on something else too, as I recall. CSS
2.1 _does_ only specify it on the body, which is intentional, given that
it inherits.
