Thanks :), I did. This is why I am asking.

See, spec says:
"Inherited:   no (see prose) "

This means that there are exceptions (in prose), right?

According to the illustration:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/images/underline-example.png

<em> in :

   blockquote { text-decoration: underline; color: blue; }
   em { display: block; }
   cite { color: fuchsia; }

   <blockquote>
    <p>
     <span>
      Help, help!
      <em> I am under a hat! </em>
      <cite> -GwieF </cite>
     </span>
    </p>
   </blockquote>

inherits text-decoration attribute value.
Or at least it behaves as it did.
