Description Paul Arzul 2003-03-12 06:52:35 UTC 
each css2 property can takes the value inherit[1,2], except "page" (which has
"auto").

this css2 should validate (see bug url):
---8<---
body
{
  marks: inherit;
  size: inherit;
}
--->8---

as of today (2003/03/12) i get:

* Line: 3 Context : body
Invalid number : marksProperty marks doesn't exist : inherit

* Line: 4 Context : body
Invalid number : sizeProperty size doesn't exist : inherit

* * *

Comment 1 Sijtsche Smeman 2004-06-10 13:47:01 UTC 
This message does not mean that the value 'inherit' is not accepted, but that
the properties marks and size do not exist.

This message is correct since these properties are only valid within @page rules
and not within the context shown in the bug report.
