Firefox 的一些令人费解的行为 CSS

Puzzling behaviour of Firefox with some CSS

在我看来,这个 XHTML 被 Firefox 34 渲染不正确,因为 FF 没有将 class 'all' 中的 font-size 声明级联到 table body 范围内。难道只是我对CSS的误解?请参阅 XHTML 中的注释。

        <!-- in the table tag below, if the class="all" be omitted, the word
            "douloimen" is shown in a smallish font;  but why isn't the
            font-size specification of the body class="all" not cascaded
            down into it?  It seems to be necessary to re-inforce or repeat
            the class declaration for the font-size specification to
            penetrate the table scope. -->

你没有误会CSS。这似乎是一种怪癖模式变体(将 <!DOCTYPE html> 添加到文件顶部以进行修复)但我找不到该特定怪癖的任何规范。
