The working group discussed this. We don't want to drop ::first-line. We considered saying that properties that are normally inherited would inherit from ::first-line (e.g. 'color') but properties that are not normally inherited would inherit from the parent element (e.g. 'display'). However, we would like to get a more comprehensive list of problems. If the 'inherit' keyword is the only problem, then it is resolvable, it seems, relatively easily. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
