Re: [webcomponents] [Shadow] Section 2.4 - CSS inherit by default? (#314)

> Blink adopts 'inherit style by default' for both open/closed (and UA) shadows. As esprehn explained,
the behavior is consistent with platform (e.g. is composed of UA shadows, say, setting
input { font-size: xx; } can affect the font size inside 's internal editing area etc.).

On the other hand, `<b><button>hello</button></b>` does not bold the text inside the button so the platform itself is quite inconsistent at the moment.

> When we adopt "not inherit by default" (for both open/closed shadows, as @dglazkov say),
how we allow inheriting of specific properties on a shadow boundary?

`:host {font-size: inherit}` would do since ShadowRoot doesn't generate a CSS box (like an element with `display: contents`).

> Also, how is a distributed element styled?

How a slotted element styled and whether style should inherit from slot elements that got assigned of those elements is a separate question.  Let's not conflate that discussion into here.
