You know whats absolutely stunning about this baseline and every discussion on here about it? Not a single mention of any kind of understanding of design. Thats nothing short of ridiculous.
I'd take ten front-enders who knew about baselines and typographic rhythm, relative font-sizes etc. before I took one of these guys. Why? Because these are the people translating your designs into the final medium, so you have to be damned sure they will get it right. Without knowing how to use CSS to represent designs you are pretty much useless to me.
If you've ever had to hold an HTML guys hand through properly aligning the type or matching up colours then you would understand how painful it can be, and how vital this knowledge is.
