Just to make sure, it looks like this email has nothing to do with the
CSS Namespaces spec, right?

When used in font-size, "1em" *is* the inherited value; the "em" unit
corresponds to the value of 'font-size' on the parent.
This doesn't work for every property, of course, but this might get
addressed in the future, when CSS Custom Properties adds a
parent-var() function - I'm pretty sure it's fine to look up the value
of any property on your parent, without circularity issues.

The 'font-all' property already exists - it's the 'font' shorthand.
