<meta name="assert" content="In this test, 'color' and 'background-color' have not been given a value for the span element. Since its parent element has an highlight pseudo-element, then these values should be inherited. Therefore the span element should be green on a yellow background and should not use the OS default selection highlight color values.">
<!--
When any supported property is not given a value by the
cascade, its value is determined by inheritance from the
corresponding highlight pseudo-element of its originating
element's parent element (regardless of whether that property
is an inherited property).
