Ah, true. IE strikes again. I mainly used 'inherit' because it didn't 
lock to a particular color. You could just as easily use 'white' or 
'#7e429d', or whatever colors happen to fit your site. The primary point 
was that you can override the hReview description style however you see 
fit, without the need to change a core WordPress file.

On the other hand, I'm okay with the idea that we could make the Kubrick 
selector more specific (but not necessarily with renaming it). I just 
think that it's an over-reaction to scramble to 'fix' Kubrick just to 
avoid conflicts with a microformat that only a tiny percentage of users 
are going to be using. Especially when there's an easy way to resolve 
the conflict without patching core files.
