In build 2000091408 the html snippet
<html>
<body>
<a href="Link">
<font style="text-decoration: none;" size="2">
Link
</font>
</a>
</body>
</html>
produces a link that is underlined.
I would expect that the link would inherit the text-decoration value from the
font, and would not be underlined.
The link is not underlined in Netscape 4 or IE 5

Mark, could you have a look into this? This is not a DOM problem.

If you put the style on the A it works fine, so the real problem is with the
inheritance from the style on the font tag. Style tags are treated specially, so
I have to review the rules for how their values cascade. Updating summary to be
more specific.
BTW: this markup gives you what you want here:
<html>
<body>
<a href="Link" style="text-decoration: none;">
<font size="2">
Link
</font>
</a>
</body>
</html>

After re-reading the spec I think that this is INVALID: i.e. the text-decoration
should not be inherited from the FONT tag. Here is the source from which I base
this belief:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#propdef-text-decoration
The way I read it, the FONT element, as an inline, should apply the
text-decoration to the boxes it generates only, and since the TEXT is not one of
the boxes it generates it is effectively ignored. Note that this property is not
inherited per se, but is applied according to the rules spelled out in the above
linked sectio of the CSS2 spec. Marking INVALID until somebody educates me
otherwise.
