Around section 4.3.2 (Lengths) in CSS 2.0. (I've looked this up in a
draft version of CSS 2.0, which is why the section number may not be exact.)

Underspecified: requires information about the used values of font-face
and font-size - in exceptional cases, it may depend on other font
attributes. Also note that specifying line heights in anything except
pure numbers is bad practice as IE doesn't consider line-height to be a
font size attribute, so text is liable to become unreadable when users
override font sizes. The position does not depend on line-height.
Also see around 14.4.11 (Lower Baseline).
