content-inherit-002 test is wrong?

[hrj]

This test passes on Firefox but fails in Chromium.

According to the spec, content is not inherited, while the test checks for inheritance.

Hence, the test seems to be wrong.

"Inherited" field means whether the property is inherited by default. When inherit keyword is specified, it always inherit the value from its parent regardless of whether it is inherited by default. And apparently the test is trying to check whether inherit keyword works on content property.

However, the test is still wrong, because per spec, content is always computed to normal for elements, so ::after should inherit normal from its parent, rather than PASSED. And content: normal on ::after would be computed to none, thus no text should be showed there.

Yeah, spec has changed since that test was written.
