Inheritance in assignment and _delete
Usage

The ! character can be used instead of the . character when referring to attributes of elements. This has the effect of inheriting the attibute from a parent element if the element referred to does not possess it. This works recursively so that if the parent does not have the attribute the parents parent will be checked and so on.
