I don't think that last statement is true. Although text-indent is
indeed inherited, it is an adjustment to 'start-indent' which is
always relative to the nearest ancestor reference area (not the
nearest block). This means that you would see only one indent:
+----------------------------------------+
| +--------------+ |
| |Inner Inner I-| |
| |nner Inner In-| Outer outer ou-|
| |ner | |
| +--------------+ |
| ter outer outer outer outer outer oute |
| r outer. |
as opposed to:
+----------------------------------------+
| +--------------+ |
| | Inner | |
| |Inner Inner I-| Outer ourer ou-|
| |nner. | |
| +--------------+ |
| ter... |
+----------------------------------------+
