To simplify the DTD the inherited properties were not shown in the DTD at
every location where they could be specified, only at the location where
the properties were actually used/applied.
  We thought this would make the tree structure and the formatting
(processing) model clearer, however, we have gotten several dozen messages
similar to yours and are invesigating a different way to describe the the
model and considering is a "validating" DTD can/should be included in the
document.
