To give a simple example: The publisher might need to use the line-height style to make the opening line of a paragraph with a raise-cap use the same line spacing as the rest of the lines in the paragraph, i.e. to make it display at the spacing YOU THE READER selected. If the firmware was changed so it did not honour the publisher's use of line-height then the line would display at a DIFFERENT spacing than you the reader selected.

Thanks, I see what you are saying.
Still, I can load an epub file that uses line-height commands in its css on a NOOK, and the line spacing can be changed. Granted, B&N's line spacing options aren't as flexible as Kobo's. Even so, it seems like there must be a way for the Kobo firmware to be a bit more forgiving.
