Your expectation was wrong.

Correct; except I'd say that *all* directives are inherited by
replacement, or not inherited.

There are some pairs of directives where setting one will cause the
other not to be inherited either, but they should be clearly related to
each other.

The person writing the documentation gets to decide what should be there;
I think it would be more useful to make it clear that *everything* works
that way, apart from the few exceptions that are not inherited at all
(which are, in the main, the *_pass directives).
