Just like you need the "interrupt-parent" property in
the normal case already.

It won't be in most cases though.  And it doesn't _really_
matter.

That is true for many important properties already.  And
it can't be helped unless you a) make the tree way less
flexible; or b) duplicate information all over the place.
