No, inheritance is not the issue. Rule of thumb: when people suspect
that their CSS problem relates to inheritance, it usually doesn't; when
they don't suspect it, it might.
It's simply a matter of writing the selector so that it matches the
desired element. Here it does, though img.floatright or .floatright
would probably do just as well (assuming you don't have other elements
in class floatright).
Even specificity isn't involved. The point is that a rule simply has no
effect if it matches no element (which was the problem with the img
.floatright selector).
