And also before each sequence of multiple spaces, and it's quite common in output of programs which align text in various columns (think df, free). > Inheriting also makes a kind of sense.

This "XML standardization" is really specific to Publican AFAIK so it's difficult to compare with anything else. We do have elements that are treated as block when they are outside of blocks, but not when they are embedded in other blocks (this is the case of <indexterm> for instance). This is meaningful just to define the strings needed for a translation. It's the thing that comes closest to your "inheriting behaviour" request. In the XSL stylesheets, it's also quite common to look up the parent hierarchy to adapt the output. Just look how often "ancestor::" appears in the files.
