Description Dan Carlson 2005-04-11 14:06:43 UTC 
Given the following selector rule (the overall style sheet is using CSS2.1, but this rule is valid CSS2.0)...

ul#navigation > li {
	display: list-item !important;
	list-style-type: inherit;
}

...the CSS validator returns the following error: "Invalid number : list-style-type inherit is not a list-
style-type value  : inherit ".  It also provides a link to the CSS 2(.0) specification (http://www.w3.org/
TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#propdef-list-style-type) for the list-style-type property... but the CSS 2 
spec specifically allows the "inherit" value!

This bug was first reported (by myself) on the www-validator-css@w3.org mailing list, and I was 
instructed to report it here.  Hope this helps!
