D'oh!

You realize what this means; I'll have to rewrite a few 
lines of my demo. Luckily a (mis)application of 
'line-height' induces so many secondary bugs in IE
that it's still badly needed. (wouldda helped me) :]

What gets me is how wrong I went reading the very
W3C pages you mention. Guess I'm not guru-ed enough yet.

BTW, I got ahold of a copy of your first book, 
and you say that IE3 will see a number value for 
'line-height' as a pixel value, with disasterous results.

This is going to force me to stop supporting 
that browser entirely!
