I agree that the value should be an integer and not a length and that it should be inherited. I think the main reason we don't have such a control in any drafts right now is that there wasn't enough justification for adding it. I'll add this proposal as an issue for CSS3 Text: if there's another implementor who wants this, we'll add it in. http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/issues/76 ~fantasai
