2. Line-height will ALWAYS be rendered in a whole number of device pixels. This is a fairly obvious physical constraint.
Yes, I realised that my measurements necessarily had some (~6%) margin of error after writing that post, but figured that it wasn't really important. I think that the distinction whether 1em/100% or 1.2/120% is the regular "normal" value was relevant, though, as there seemed to be some confusion about which values constitute a large deviance from default.

Thanks for chiming in, appreciated
