  We show that if B is a C*-subalgebra of a C*-algebra A such that B contains a
bounded approximate identity for A, and if L is the pull-back to A of the
quotient norm on A/B, then L is strongly Leibniz. In connection with this
situation we study certain aspects of best approximation of elements of a
unital C*-algebra by elements of a unital C*-subalgebra.
