Note that for more than a year, 1pt equals 1px in all Gecko browsers, to
match IE and WebKit insanity.

To help me understand, may I assume "1pt" means '1 point' and  "1px" means
1 pixel? This is how I learn. I read and then Google it for meaning.
What I don't understand is why you call it "...IE and WebKit insanity."
I think a line height of 1:1 is ideal for most things.
Please explain.

Line-height equal to less than font-size is usually a horrible idea.
Line-height 1 isn't necessarily bad, depending on context. 1 means 1:1, or
100%, same as 1em, equal to font-size.

Good information. Thanks.
