I looked over the thread and Mirek suggested and approved the implementation so
I believe it was implemented correctly. I further check the specification[1]
and it says "To get line spac­ing in the 120–145% range, use a <Multiple> value
of 1.03 - 1.24.", which our 120% line spacing is in.

So to compare, MS currently used Multiple 1.15 with 10pt below paragraph and we
use Multiple 1.20 with 7pt below paragraph.

I believe this bug can be closed as NOTABUG.
