Summary: Stylesheet forces too much space below minor headings in
Wikipedia

In Wikipedia, there is a whole line worth of vertical whitespace between a
section header and the text proper. That is just wrong, because it causes your
eye to wonder about when browsing the text rapidly.
There *should* be a space, but the space should *also* be somewhere between 20%
and 33% of the x-height, if proportional to font size, or somewhere between
.5mm and 1mm in absolute units (in my stylesheet I opt for the latter unit). If
there is an underline below a topic heading, I'd opt for the lower end of the
scale (as I do myself).
As such, I think proper typography mandates that the styling of Wikipedia (and
I think Wikimedia default) be changed.
