mode-line-inactive and face inheritance

["Eli Zaretskii" <eliz@is.elta.co.il>]

Here's the definition of mode-line-inactive face:

    (defface mode-line-inactive
      '((((type x w32 mac) (background light) (class color))
	 :inherit mode-line
	 :weight light
	 :box (:line-width -1 :color "grey75" :style nil)
	 :foreground "grey20" :background "grey90")
	(((type x w32 mac) (background dark) (class color))
	 :inherit mode-line
	 :weight light
	 :box (:line-width -1 :color "grey40" :style nil)
	 :foreground "grey80" :background "grey30")
	(t
	 :inverse-video t))
      "Basic mode line face for non-selected windows."
      :version "21.2"
      :group 'modeline
      :group 'basic-faces)

The definition for non-GUI versions doesn't include `:inherit mode-line'.
Is that intentional?  I think it's not a good idea to have this
difference, especially since the documentation mentions the inheritance,
and doesn't say it's display-dependent.  FWIW, I don't see any reason
why an :inherit attribute would hurt here.
