This will affect everything in the generated HTML pages.
Though the number 2 need not be best.
In LaTeX a stretch of 1.5 is frequently used for double-spacing.

Better would be applying the rule to paragraphs only, thus avoiding headings.
For example:

But even this may be too much, if the double-spacing is needed only with 
certain parts of the document. That requires defining a class of paragraph. 
This is where it is best done with user input, via the extra macros discussed 
in the LaTeX Web Companion.
