I recently noticed that there seems to be an ambiguity in CSS when the value 'inherit' is used for a component of the 'font' shorthand in the optional part. With regard to how 'font' is defined, http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-shorthand (or the corresponding part in the CSS 2.1 draft), consider the declaration font: inherit 100% Arial; Does 'inherit' set font-style, or font-variant, or font-weight? They are allowed in any order, and they are all optional, so which one is it? Am I missing something? It seems to me that this problem cannot be solved without disallowing 'inherit' in such cases.
