When you increase the line-height of an element, you start getting gaps between each line of text. Most of the time this is fine, since you don't see the specific gap.

CSS3 outline using CSS2 border

Sadly, CSS outline isn't supported in IE7, so i'm stuck using border. But adding a border to any element on the page takes up room and possibly shifts the page.
