More accessible line height

[lukasoppermann]

Hey,
first of all, nice project.

I am just wonder why you set the line-height to 115% (https://github.com/sindresorhus/modern-normalize/blob/master/modern-normalize.css#L25)? Is it because the default leading for most browsers is between 110% to 120%?

The line height typically recommended in typography is 120–145%. Do you have a special reason? Otherwise I would recommend something like 130%, because it still looks nice, but greater leading is actually a good practise for accessibility. You could even go all the way up to 150% which is the recommended leading by the W3C accessibility guidelines.

I would think if we want to normalize, we could also try to normalize not just to the defaults, but also a little bit in the direction of an overall accessible web. Looking forward to your thoughts. 👋

See discussion about it here: necolas/normalize.css#612

So the argument is basically to go for "normal" as in what most browser doe and not for good? So you are basically saying this would be to opinionated?

[sindresorhus]

Yeah, the point is to normalize what browsers do, even if it's not so good. Making it better is a different problem and something I intend to solve with #13. I'll definitely improve the line height there.
