1) This was incorrect in the first place. It shouldn't be WebKit's business to
try and fix people's faulty code. None of the other browser do it: Firefox,
Opera, even IE. All the browsers at this point calculate x-height, and
therefore 'ex', correctly. WebKit is the only one that doesn't.

2) This was discuss with hyatt and mitz on IRC. In fact, this whole thing was
discussed with him (a year ago now). That's why I've been pushing so hard for
him specifically to review this. It needs to be included as part of this patch,
because the changes to 'ex' would change the margins on checkboxes/radios.

I'm sorry, but this is getting a little silly, if you ask me. This was
perfectly fine back a year ago, with some minor problems that could have been
easily rectified (missing test-case results, which was discussed on IRC and
agreed that whoever commits would create)... it really seems that WebKit has no
interest in getting its last few CSS1 and CSS2 bugs fixed. (This isn't the only
CSS1/CSS2 bug in this position.)
