Comment (by sabernhardt):

 @nrqsnchz I was thinking of a smaller increase in the margin, roughly 5-10
 pixels.

 A change I considered last month was `.imgedit-help {margin-bottom:
 1em;}`. This would give 5px more than the 8px top margin of the next
 element (at the default 13px font size). And when a user increases the
 minimum font size, the spacing increases with it.

 If you want more spacing than that, however, a fixed pixel value (16-24?)
 probably would be more appropriate than ems.
