I was going more for accuracy than clarity here. If it's not always the height, then we shouldn't use the term height here. >> # The actual value of this property may differ from the computed >> # value due a numerical value on ‘font-size-adjust’ and the >> # unavailability of certain font sizes. >> >> I suspect we want to specify here that the availability of font >> sizes doesn't affect layout or unit conversions.

But since you're talking about the difference between computed values and actual values here, I think it's also worth pointing out whether - availability of font sizes affects unit conversions - availability of font sizes affects layout ~fantasai
