HTML file: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; } p { font-style: italic; } /* Binding: */ .test { -moz-binding: url(test011.xml#default); } </style> </head> <body ><div id="div1" class="test"><p>Default content</p></div ></body> </html> 2. test011.xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <bindings xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl"> <binding id="default" inheritstyle="false"> <content><children/><p>Anonymous content</p></content> </binding> </bindings> Actual Results: The binding adds new <p> element (with the text "Anonymous content"). inheritstyle="false" prevents new element from explicit font-style:italic rule set for <p> elements in the author stylesheet. At the same time it still gets the font-weight:bold rule inherited from the <body> element. Expected Results: inheritstyle="false" blocks any style rules from the author's stylesheet. Unless specified by binding, default styles are used (as if there are no styles provided). Not even sure if it's a bug or per design (though "Expected Results" would be really more expected - and more convenient).
I think this is invalid. The use of inheritstyle="false" prevents stylesheets from styling anonymous content, but anonymous can choose to inherit the style from non-anonymous parent content.

Yeah. The attribute is not as well-named as one could wish, but "allowapplicationofdocumentstylerules" is a little long as an attribute name. ;)
