WebKit resolves text-align:start/end to left/right in CSSStyleSelector::applyProperty and then discards the original values.  Then when a child element comes along with text-align:inherit left/right is inherited from the parent rather than start/end.

According to my reading of the spec, WebKit's current behavior is actually what's expected of text-align:match-parent and is wrong for inherit.

"""
match-parent
This value behaves the same as ‘inherit’ except that an inherited ‘start’ or ‘end’ keyword is calculated against its parent's ‘direction’ value and results in a computed value of either ‘left’ or ‘right’.
"""

The attached test case renders differently in WebKit than FF which itself differs from IE8/Opera.
