What about IE, though? Even if you don't have any real text in the
element (which you won't, because then you wouldn't set the font size to
1px to begin with), IE will expand boxes to hold potential text. So if a
user preference in IE overrides the 1px font-size, the gap will
reappear. Right? I haven't tested this, but I think this is what
Philippe was referring to as the danger of the font-size method.
