Of course, the minute I hit send, it occurs to me that (at least in
Gecko) this would require a gigantic overhaul of the internal data
structure for style properties; "inherited" and "reset" properties
(internal terms) are currently stored in separate "style structs" and
looked up differently, for speed's sake (you don't have to look at an
element's ancestors for non-inherited properties).
