I'm not so sure they should be.

They're certainly incomplete properties in other ways, e.g., in
terms of not having (independent) computed values.

I think it would make more sense for them not to be included.

This presumes that things like:

  margin-inline-start: inherit;

are first mapped to the appropriate physical property (e.g.,
margin-left: inherit) and then inheritance is done on the physical
property.

I think that's the right model, but I don't see it specified in the
spec.  It should be specified.
