That's an interesting approach, you probably want someone familiar with the style system to check that having an element that is not the root act as if it was the root of the style tree is a reasonable thing to do. Also, to be precise, you're not actually clear about what happens to e.g. 'color', which is an inheritable property. If it doesn't inherit from anything, what is it's value? This is not defined, because currently in CSS every element has a parent except the root, and there is a special exception to inheritance specifically for the root element. ~fantasai
