Use case: Text spans A, B, and C are all written by different authors (e.g. some kind of aggregated content), who happen to be called A, B and C. Text D is written by Author C B doesn't know A has made the container of his text bolder, and C doesn't know B has made the container of her text bolder Author C expects her content to be in a normal weight, and applies ‘lighter’ to some portion of that. Author C wants span containing text D to look different from the surrounding text. So it should go from Bold to Normal, regardless of the failure earlier of Author B to force C's text to be emboldened. In my belief this corresponds to the ascending and descending of ordered lists as defined in CSS2.1 — Nicholas Shanks.
