Link when pressed takes you to a NOT FOUND on this server.
Oooops - this is a typo in the href attribute value - I've fixed it now, so the link should now work.

p{line-height: 1.5;}

Nope - this is a unitless value. line-height is one of the cases where it can be a good idea to use values without units. Basically, it allows you to set the line-height as a ratio of the font-size, so in these cases, it is 1.5 times the font-size. It is especially useful to use unitless values of line-height on elements that are very likely to have descndents - you can set it once on the parent element to make all descendents have line-heights relative to their font-sizes.
Eric Meyer explains this in a bit more depth in his <a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/02/08/unitless-line-heights/">Unitless line-heights</a> article.

Thanks for the heads up Don - this was caused by a rogue period in the href value; I've fixed it now.

Hi there - this is a mistake; that link should have been pointing to the WSC Glossary that explains both those two terms. I've fixed the link, and the surrounding text. Thanks for pointing this out!

1. in the first sentence is says: — some dynamic, some static, some functional —
2. Table 2 has several issues
3. in "in What is the physical equivalent of a desktop pixel?" it says: However…
(sorry, but when I submit the post, it does not show the entity codes as listed in the article since the post translates the entity codes to symbols)

Hrm, you are right - there are a lot of entity screwups going on here. I think I've got all of them - I replaced the HTML entities with unicode codes to make sure they display ok. Let me know if you spot any more - thanks!
