That's just it. It's the computed value that is getting
inherited, not the number. I believe this is so because
when I apply the same line-height value used in 'body' to
the descendant div, the font-size on that div now controls
the line-height.
Before, the div's rendered line-height was whatever the
computed global value happened to be, no matter what
font-size was put on the div. Take away the global
line-height, and no problem.
Interestingly, Op6 won't allow the div's line-height to be
much smaller than the x height. (the height of a small 'x')
Better, but still not good enough.
