'inherit' is no longer going to be explicitly mentioned on any value list, since all properties have it. It will instead be moved to the syntax module (or the cascade module, I forget). The new value 'initial' is also supposed to be only mentioned in the syntax module, with 'inherit'; that it was mentioned in the background module at all is an error. The 'initial' keyword is exactly equivalent to setting the property to its initial value, as given by the "Initial Value:" line on the table. So for example for 'background-image' the value 'initial' is exactly equivalent to 'none', but for 'color' the result of the value 'initial' depends on the UA. -- Ian Hickson ``The inability of a user agent to implement part of this specification due to the limitations of a particular device (e.g., non interactive user agents will probably not implement dynamic pseudo-classes because they make no sense without interactivity) does not imply non-conformance.'' -- Selectors, Sec13
