If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The point is to not confuse authors by making it seem like there is something going on with the line-height when, as you say, there's no way to have more than one line anyway. Also, it means we don't have to worry about text alignment modes that relate to the line box height or inline box height rather than the em box height.
