I think background-color is a bad case to pick as the initial value is transparent (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/colors.html#propdef-background-color). On top of that you don't have any inheritance in your example above as you've got body both times. Let's say you had this though...

<html>
    <style type="text/css">
        body {
            background-color:red;
        }
    </style>
    <body>
        <div style="width:100%;height:100%;background-color:INVALIDCOLOR">

    </body>
</html>

The div has an invalid background-color so that becomes background-color: transparent and then the body shows through. So whether you had background-color inherit or use the lacuna value, you'd get the same visual result.
