Form element line-spacing #316

A minor CSS detail: styles.css, line 67.

Using the font property shorthand without setting an explicit line-height sets line-height to 'normal', which is not equal to the line-height set for the body. Any reason it shouldn't be this instead: select, input, textarea, button { font:99%/1.231 sans-serif; } ?

The line height if specified so will be a multiplier of the font size. So 1.231 will not exactly match the body line height. I do not think it is essential and becomes relevant only whe u do vertical rhythm in which case you would have to set it anyway.
