I agree that the correct behavior (before Ian swapped the colors in the
test) is red, and Mozilla should behave that way [1] starting in
tomorrow's build. Inheritance works by computed values, so the computed
value of 'border-color' on the parent should be derived from the
computed value of 'color' on the parent, and this value should then be
inherited down to the child.
