You are so right:

CSS 2.1 Specification
14 Colors and Backgrounds
14.2 The background
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/colors.html

"Background properties are not inherited, but the parent box's 
background will shine through by default because of the initial 
'transparent' value on 'background-color'."


Standing corrected,
