Your inheritance concern is not about @page, it is about text-decoration, right? That is true, inheritance rules for that are unique ("see prose" is the best we can do for formal definition)... otherwise paged media doesn't make inheritance more difficult - or does it?

You're right, I missed that, and Prince doesn't implement it.
To be honest, I'm not sure I like the idea of having yet another
inheritance category, it seems simpler to say that properties inherit
from @page to margin boxes in exactly the same way that they inherit
from elements to child elements.
The most common use case is to specify the same font and color for
multiple margin boxes, and inheritance already takes care of this.
Best regards,
Michael
