Nothing complicated, just something like:

<r:meta:description inherit="true" />

This would inherit if the field is blank (empty or nil). These would print a blank meta description tag if blank:

<r:meta:description inherit="false" />
<r:meta:description />

I agree.  Would you implement something like:
<r:meta:description inherit_if_blank="true"> (gotta work on that attrib name...)

Or do you want some way to turn on inheritance on a per page basis (some pages a blank description inherits, on others it doesn't)?

Personally, I'd like to see inheritance of meta info be optional and not the default.

I just wanted to mention that I just noticed this change and am glad to see it implemented in core as well. It eliminates the need for my page_meta extension.

I too, like the inheritance idea (an optional attribute of the tag) but I would also like to see a feature I had implemented in my extension.

I the 'tag' attribute (mine was 'as_tag'), I had allowed true | false | unless_blank for the reverse case that Jamey is mentioning. I have sites where I *don't* want keywords to inherit. They need to be explicitly defined or else the page gets none. So, by using the 'unless_blank' option, I was able to prevent the page from kicking out an empty set of <meta> tags. I'd be happy to write up a patch for this if others think that this would be helpful.

First of all, thanks very much to the dev team for all of the latest
release activity.  It is greatly appreciated!

I do have a question about the new metatags fields for keywords and
description.  These work great, but I noticed that there is no way to
set them to inherit (unless I am missing something).  It does not look
like you can set these fields on a parent page and have the children
inherit them.  I thought that this would be the desired behavior, but
maybe I am missing something.

Thanks.
