Incompatibility of -epub-text-combine's "Inherited" between EPUB 3.0 and 3.0.1

Hi,

EPUB 3.0 defines -epub-text-combine [1] as an alias of text-combine [2]
whose Inherited is no.
IIUC, EPUB 3.0.1 defines -epub-text-combine [3] as an alias of
text-combine-horizontal [4] whose Inherited is yes.

The latest EPUB 3.3 [5] is mostly the same as EPUB 3.0.1 except an alias of
text-combine-upright [6] instead of text-combine-horizontal.

Is this intentional incompatibility?

There is an EBPAJ's sample EPUB file [7]. Although it just checks how a
reading system renders an EPUB and doesn't check conformance, it is famous
in Japan and most publishers use it to check reading systems. The EBPAJ's
sample has a content to check this "Inherited" behaviour. Then, our
customer asked us to fix EPUB 3.0's "Inherited: no".
