A minor issue for the next update of the spec:
Nowhere in the spec does it say that the properties accept 'inherit' as
a value, but we know they do. A few lines on how to read the grammar
might be useful to avoid mistakes. E.g., something like the following
(adapted from section 2 of Backgrounds and Borders[1]).
Values
This specification follows the CSS property definition
conventions[2] from [CSS21].
<color>, <integer> and <length> are defined in CSS Level 2
Revision 1 [CSS21].
All properties defined in this specification also accept the
inherit[3] keyword as their value, but for readability it has not
been listed explicitly.
