I was proposing that inheritance is determined by the document tree
(just as cascade.html currently says) and that there be an additional level of
"inheritance"-like behaviour for boxes placed in a certain line box, comparable
to how "The properties of anonymous boxes are inherited from the enclosing
non-anonymous box" (section 9.2.1.1).
