Please, do not commit this. It is a big mistake in behaviour.

CSS3 Generated Content is in a very incomplete form, with a lot missing. CSS2
GenCon has reasonably consistent implementations of the core features across
browsers, but many, many differences as well.

In short, regarding CSS2: this patch is a regression on CSS2 compliance, which
we are still a little way from in the details and proper handling of corner
cases. FF and others are similarly patchy in CSS2 GenCon, so do not copy them
if unsure about behaviour.

Regarding CSS3: the spec is rough, with lots of holes. It is changing rapidly.
The test case by Hixie was last updated in 2001, and since then CSS3 has had
content inherit removed entirely.

Could close as dup of bug 13097 anyway.
