User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20071008 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20071008 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.6

The following simple HTML demonstrates the problem:

<html><body>
	<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; text-decoration: line-through;">
		Correct
	</span>
	<span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: line-through;">
		<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">
			Incorrect
		</span>
	</span>

	<br><br>Note that the word "Correct" has a red line through it, and the word "Incorrect" has a black line through it. (It should be red.) Both words have the exact same set of attribute values applied to them, but in the "Incorrect" case, they are applied in separate span tags.
</body></html>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open this HTML in firefox:

<html><body>
	<span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; text-decoration: line-through;">
		Correct
	</span>
	<span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: line-through;">
		<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">
			Incorrect
		</span>
	</span>

	<br><br>Note that the word "Correct" has a red line through it, and the word "Incorrect" has a black line through it. (It should be red.) Both words have the exact same set of attribute values applied to them, but in the "Incorrect" case, they are applied in separate span tags.
</body></html>

Actual Results:  
That the word "Incorrect" is rendered with a black line through it.

Expected Results:  
That the word "Incorrect" should have a red line through it.
the line-through is drawn on the element with text-decoration set and so in the color of that element, black. It doesnt matter what the colors of descendant elements is.
