You wouldn't want to specify 'inherit' for all properties - think about width, vertical-align, etc. What you would want instead is something that says reset all properties to their default (whether it is inheritance or some value). I'm not sure if such a declaration would be a good idea, since it could cause strange forward-compatibility problems (if things the author didn't expect to be under the control of CSS came under the control of CSS, for example, whether a user could interact with an element).
