Color has THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS: there is no way to specify the
attribute relative to a parent (such as bluer, greener brighter...),
therefore you cannot gaurantee an attribute you assign a rule will be
different that its parent style after you conside the last style-sheet in
the cascade.

"toggle-italic" and "toggle-oblique" would be an excellent idea!
