V0229:

The specification states:

 The 'height' property does not apply. The height of the content area should be 
 based on the font, but this specification does not specify how.

The height property is applied to inline non-replaced elements.

V0230:

The specification states:

 The vertical padding, border and margin of an inline, non-replaced box start at the 
 top and bottom of the content area, not the 'line-height'. But only the 'line-
 height' is used when calculating the height of the line box.

Quirks Mode and IE7 Mode (All Versions)

The vertical padding, border, and margin of an inline non-replaced box start at the top and bottom of the line-height.
