I'm probably using a different definition of "clear" than most people
here.  ^_^  The lack of a hyphen in "text decorations" distinguishes
it from "text-decoration", the property - the former refers to the
decorations that are specified by the property.  If you're intimately
familiar with how text decorations work, you'll also know that they
inherit in a funky way that is different than CSS properties.
