But in many cases where striping is useful (code listings, for instance), that would be rare, or controllable. Given the pretty-printed code employing roughly that strategy I've seen on the web, and considering how often the striping becomes noticeably misaligned after 20 lines or less of code, I'd say it's not very rare at all. Either line-height commonly varies by small, unpredictable amounts, or authors are just bad at predicting exactly how tall the line is. Or both. ~TJ
