I don't quite understand -- the rewritten initialization of
the mode-line-inactive face still has multiple :inherit tags.

Looing at the two rewritten face specs doesn't persuade me this
is desireable in general (the partial structuring doesn't really
make things clearer to me).  But for the :inherit tag, I can see it
could be useful.

What happens if the `all' spec contains a tag which is also in the
specific section? E.g. if all gives one foreground and the specific
section another -- which one wins?  (I would say the specific
section).
