On #footer p content it is exactly the same thing as both 2em and 200%.
Assuming the browser default size is 16px, the line-height for all three will
be 32px on #footer p content. http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=LineHeight

The difference between the three is what happens to descendants of #footer p.
Descendants of #footer p will inherit 2 from 2, while 32px from both 200% and
2em, as shown on: http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/line-height-inherit.html
