If you set a font-family on the body, and see it being used on all elements in the document, you’re depending on inherit (even though you didn’t set it yourself). Inherit is the default value for a number of properties, and can not be removed because it is depended on by many. Hiding it or something also won’t do - if I set a property to a certain value in one rule, and want to reset it to its default (in this case, inherit) in another, I need to be able to specify inherit. Basically, removing inherit would majorly break the CSS as it is used today. So even just thinking about doing so is wasting time you could better spend on other things :). ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
