Which CSS properties are inherited?
Here is the list of all inheritable properies. I'm working with W3C's information, so I'd guess it should be correct. But knowing web browsers (IE specifically), some of these might not be inheritable by all browsers:

Blender's and Shaz's lists both enumerate all the inherited CSS 2.1 properties, including those for aural media such as azimuth. Here below is a list without the aural-oriented properties, now including CSS3 properties.
