But Dave, if your authoring schema forbids using inheritance it will force you to repeatedly specify the same properties over and over again, rather than setting them once on (any) suitable ancestor. Isn't that the last thing you want if hand editing? Like all shortcuts, the use of the inheritance mechanism is mainly of use for people. Machines care less if the document is bloated by repeating property values thousamds of times.
