The XSL CR spec says about the keyword "inherit":

    5.9.10.1 inherit
    The property takes the same computed value as the property for 
    the formatting object's parent object

In this description it seems not to be considered that the keyword 
"inherit" may be used in expressions.
However the property expression syntax does not disallow it.
A clarification is needed.

I think the following property expression should be valid.

    <fo:block start-indent="inherit + 1cm">
        1cm indented from outer area
    </fo:block>

and it should be equivalent to:

    <fo:block start-indent="inherited-property-value(start-indent) + 1cm">
        1cm indented from outer area
    </fo:block>

Is my understanding wrong?
