[Fwd: text-shadow and text-decoration]
The editors,
7.16.5 "text-shadow" has offsets defined in terms of "horizontal
distance to the right" and "vertical distance below" the text.
The section also specifies:
Inherited: no, see prose
There is no mention of inheritance in the prose of section 7.16.5.
7.16.4 "text-decoration", likewise, has:
Inherited: no, see prose
It does discuss inheritance.
"This property describes decorations that are added to the text of an
element. If the property is specified for a block-level element, it
affects all inline-level descendants of the element. If it is specified
for (or affects) an inline-level element, it affects all boxes generated
by the element. If the element has no content or no text content (e.g.,
the IMG element in HTML), user agents must ignore this property."
This is confusing because it seems to imply that the property *is*
inherited. Also, if the last sentence quoted is taken to mean, "if the
element has no text content user agents must ignore this property," how
is this property to affect specified fo:character elements within its
ambit? Is it the intention that the property apply to all implicit and
explicit fo:character elements descended from the element on which it is
defined? Is the complication here to do with the handling of
inline-progression spacing?
