@RGB: So in short, you disagree with the change of using what Butterick's
Practical Typography recommends, as that is what has been implemented. Cant say
that i agree with you, or to the suggest maximum of 110%, as i find single line
spacing quite cramped and difficult to read, and believe 'Default Style' should
also be changed from single. Also none of the major word processors default to
using single line spacing.

MS Word 2007-2010 : 1.15 (10pt below paragraph)
MS Word 2013+     : 1.08 ( 8pt below paragraph)
iWork Pages       : 1.2
Google Docs       : 1.15 ( 0pt below paragraph)

(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #17)

Yes this is correct, as i regularly use 2010 and assumed 2013+ used the same.
