Right now ServoStyleSet ignores the aParentStyleContext argument arriving to ResolvePseudoElementStyle, assuming the pseudo should inherit from the element.

This is completely wrong for ::backdrop, which should not inherit from anything.

I'm adding restyling for ::backdrop in bug 1364871. I plan to fix the behavior of ::backdrop here.

Since the usual behaviour is to inherit from the parent, I think it might make sense to invert the function here, and have it be "inherits_from_default_styles" or something.  Reading this code here, otherwise, it's not obvious why if inherits_from_parent() is false, that we should use the default computed values.

Alternatively you could use an enum, but I think inheriting from the parent seems obvious enough to not need to be explicitly written.

Sounds good, will do :)
