Yes, the order, but not the extents.

It's fo:table (6.7.3) that generates the areas for its children. See the
section there:
"The areas generated and returned by the fo:table formatting object have
as children:
• Areas, with only background, corresponding to the table-header, table-footer,
table-body, spanned
columns, columns, and rows.
The spanned columns (fo:table-column with a "number-columns-spanned"
value greater than 1) are used
in the same way as the "column groups" in CSS2 for determining the background. ☞
• Areas returned by the fo:table-cell formatting objects."

What kind of inheritance? Property inheritance doesn't apply as the
background properties are not inherited.
