Yes, it refers to the para four up. These two paragraphs were originally
adjacent, which made the link between them clearer.
The para you mentioned has been moved up so that it is once more right
after the one describing inheritance.
Visibility is used as an example because in CSS 1 it had a rather funky,
specific inheritance model; in CSS2 this was fixed to inherit the same
as other properties, and occasionally this still confuses people. So, it
used to have weird special behavior, no longer does, and therefore makes
a good example.
