1.00 to 1.20 comparison

The recommendation states that anything within the 120% to 145% range is fine,
so why would it be too large to use 138%? I'm fine with taking the middle value
of the range, 132.5%, which is would be equivalent to 1.16, though i would
minus 1 from it so we could go for 1.15 like other apps.

If you look at the line spacing page[1], it says "The text in this paragraph
has line spacing of 135%. It looks fine.", which is using 1.35, so wouldnt be
in favour of going to the lower end.

Took Cor's doc and modified it to include the range between 1.00 and 1.20 so we
can compare the sizes. I think 1.10 and 1.15 have the good amount of space to
not feel to camped or to large.
