I don't get it. If I don't use line-height globally,
the line-heights do change according to the dictates
of the font-size in descendant elements. But if I
then give a line-height globally (except for a
value of 'normal', which works correctly),
the processor costs become prohibitive? Since
programming is a closed book to me, I can't speak
intelligently about this; it just seems odd, somehow.
