Painting the text in your example red is correct, but has nothing to do with HTML attribute value inheritance. A subtle point, Kris, and one I had failed to appreciate. So if I may pursue this further : In <!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML> <HEAD> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <TITLE>HTML 5 (Provisional) Table Inheritance Test</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <TABLE style="font-size: 70%"> <TR> <TD> What size am I ? </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <TABLE style="font-size: 70%"> <TR style="font-size: 70%"> <TD style="font-size: 70%"> What size am I ? </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML> which is the re-written version of the test previously referred to, why are the two font samples rendered at exactly the same size ? I would have expected the second to be considerably smaller (70% of 70% of 70% = 34%) whereas they appear to be exactly the same size.
