Alternately, revert the currentColor change (which I'm not sure is
implemented by anyone yet?) and use a new keyword for "inherit as
as a use-color-property keyword".

Which basically means we need two keyword names:
   a) compute to the current color value and inherit as that color
   b) inherit as a keyword that references the color value on
      whatever element it's on

One of these keywords needs to be currentColor. Probably it doesn't
matter which one.
