.... because with a unit, browsers use the specified line height
and pass it on exactly to the children and this is often
inappropriate (the kids may be smaller in font size and look odd
with the actual spacing intended for the bigger parents). Using
just a unit, the proportion is noted and applied intelligently to
fit children according to their size.
