++ on this. I used to be quite dogmatic about baseline rhythm when the distance between me being a print designer and a developer was a lot shorter, responsive was the thing that finally killed it for me, for the better. I'd just add though that the almost pseudoscientific magic numbers part of it is more than a little silly, for heavily text-based sites the general principles + a good font can produce aesthetically very beautiful typography without a great deal of effort (just the normal plug the ratios into a stylesheet, and then take the base value and reuse it everywhere for margins/padding etc)
