It is useful for it to inherit in certain scenarios, such as when you have a number of 'textArea' elements that you want to have the same alignment on. This may be more of a problem for SVG 1.2 Tiny since it doesn't mandate support for CSS stylesheets and CSS selectors.

Please elaborate on why the CSSWG thinks the property should not inherit.

Coordination sounds good to me, although the SVG WG hasn't discussed it either yet.

Just curious, what CSS module wants to include this functionality?
