The used value of 'line-height: > normal' depends on the font being used. I should have been saying instead (because more accurate) "is approximately (average) 1.15 for various fonts." numerical value has a different meaning from em value. 2 other points to consider carefully with regards to line box and line height. CSS box model (with its padding, border, content, margin areas) have nothing to do, no direct relationship, no dependence with line-height and line box height determination: this is often a difficult part to understand. Only section 10.6.1 suggests this. Line-height property has a very different - totally different - meaning when set on a block element and when set on an inline element: this is also often misunderstood. Section 10.8 and other statements elsewhere indicate this.
