 As far as I know, browsers always render a bit of extra space above
and below to allow for accents, descenders, ascenders and such. Please
bear in mind that users tend to like line-heights of 1.2 or a bit
bigger. If you can, try to introduce a vertical rhythm in your texts
and your users will thank you even more :)
