Re: line-height limitations

Rule 5 talks about a "text" value, but it's not included in the defined set.

"For each box that has ‘text’ in ‘line-box-contain’, the top of the line box must be at least as high as the top of each glyph in the box (excluding those in child elements). The bottom of the line box must be at least as low as the bottom of each glyph in the box (excluding child elements)."

That sounds like your "glyphs" suggestion, no?
