Inline areas have their own line-height trait which can be
different to the line-height on the containing line area /
containing block. line-height when specified on an inline fo has a
different meaning, i.e. the inline area returned MUST have the
exact line-height as specified, while line-height on a block level
sets the minimum height for all decendant inline areas. We don't do
any of that in the moment. Side note: in layout we don't know any
more if a property is inherited or specified on that element, that
could be a complication here. Finn, any thoughts on this?
You mean the phrases: "If the property is set on an inline-level
element, it specifies ..." is only used when the line-height property
is explicitly set on inline-level? If the line-height is inherited
then that paragraph isn't operative?

Yes that's how I read it because otherwise the sentence "If the property
is set on an inline-level element, it specifies ..." doesn't make sense
to me. As the property is always implicitly set so this must mean
explicit.
Do you (or anyone else) understand that differently?
Hmm, not speaking english natively puts me in a disadvantage, but
perhaps the sentence means the same as "If the property is *used* on an
inline-level element, it specifies ..." ? The focus is merely on the
element type, not on where the property value comes from.
