This property has a compound value with three components.
And in 5.5.7: The value of this property is a compound value with three components: a baseline-identifier for the dominant-baseline, a baseline-table and a baseline-table font-size. So there is some evidence in the spec that the authors meant that the computed value of the property is of type "scaled-baseline-table". <snip/> > Cheers, > > Andreas Manuel
