Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-forms-1] Pseudo elements and SVG for form controls (#12039)

That's a good question! By itself it is not inherited, so unless we'd resolve for it to inherit on pseudo-elements (similar to implicit anchors available on them), yes, it will need to be defined on the pseudo-element itself.

Also… thinking about all of that — I am not sure we will be able to pass the `currentColor` specifically… I don't think the spec currently defines the timing of when the parameters are passed:

> (using the [CSS value definition syntax](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#css-value-definition-syntax); TODO define an actual parser for it).

`currentColor`'s value is resolved at the used time, and, for example, is not expanded when we use it with `@property` etc. Maybe that will need to be more explicitly defined — and `currentColor` in the linked params might be one of the most common use cases (for icons, etc.). cc @tabatkins (probably, could be a separate issue specifically about this aspect of linked params?)
