Again, this is bad advice. If the body style is set to line-height 1.2em and then the blockquote style is set to a smaller font, then the blockquotes will all have huge spacing between the lines, and if the blockquote is set to a larger font you'll have overlapping lines.

If you set the body style to a line-height of 1.2 instead of 1.2em then inherited fonts will be spaced properly relative to the font used.
