I would like to use inherit
with calc()
like this :
#foo{ animation-duration:10s; } #foo > .bar { animation-duration:calc(inherit + 2s); /* =12s */ }
But it don't seem to works.
Is it browsers bug or specs?

The inherit
keyword can only exist alone as a value in a property declaration. It cannot be used with anything else as a value, because it's a value in and of itself. This means it cannot be used with functions like calc()
either. See CSS2.1 and css3-cascade.
Furthermore, the calc()
function itself only takes literal numeric values such as numbers, dimensions and percentages.
So to put it simply, the spec doesn't allow using inherit
that way.
