That's fine if people read those conventions; in SVG we always list those values because otherwise there is a risk that implementors will omit them. So it seems clearer, and not that much longer, to be explicit. Of course, CSS only defines properties, so the rule applies to everything; while SVG defines a bunch of attributes, some of which are presentation attributes (and thus have 'inherit') while others are not (and don't).
