That's not really an answer to my questions, especially the last one.

I don't see how "em-based typographic grid" serves that purpose.
But this being a technical discussion forum, I'd like to answer you "Why
not?" question, since it raises a technical problem you may have missed:
images. How do you set their height in em units? You _can_ do that in
CSS, but the effects of scaling can be serious.
Another apparent issue is that you would need to leave either no space
between paragraphs or a full line height spacing. The latter looks odd
especially if a large line height value is used.
