    <thetext>Per Gerard&apos;s email at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011May/0402.html, if the cascaded value of a property is &apos;inherit&apos;, the *specified* value should be the *computed* value of the element&apos;s parent.  Currently, 2.1 says it should be the specified value of the parent.  (Previously, it said the computed value of the property should be the computed value of the parent, which is also wrong.)

Discussion started at &lt;http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Jan/0075.html&gt;, where Anton points out that the older definition (computed = computed of parent) was wrong.</thetext>
