That is a problem - if a box is left blank it inherits from the property 
of the same
name in the closest anscestor resource.   In many cases that won't 
matter too much
but the specific example you give is a case that works badly. I can 
think of a better
scheme but it would increase the complexity of the code even more.  For 
example,
for any particular foreground colour property which is set to null;

if ( the main page foreground colour is also null ) inherit from 
ancestor resource
else inherit from main page foreground colour.

Similarly for the various background colours.
