  I read an article on baseline grid in CSS today, quite interesting:
  http://dev.opera.com/articles/vi…

  Later today I accidentally found this article (pdf):

  Do you know any good reading material on the subject?
  How to calculate leading for headings, subheadings, etc?

  depends a lot on the page size. i have never tried it on the web, but i usually set my indesign baseline grid to 3pt increments. that way you can use type and leading, and space after sizes at multiples of 3pts sizes. also, check the align to grid in the indents and spacing section in your style sheets. it's pretty easy once you start using it, just takes a little math now and again.

  Bringhurst covered it in Elements of Typographic Style, but as for web,

  seems decent, but my sites aren't usually that complicated
