This is fine, actually. Even if the property that caused it to be not rendered is inherited (and switching off the inheritance would return it to being rendered), it's already in the "draw as a paint source" clause. As a paint source, it uses its intrinsic appearance, which is completely unaffected by layout.

This is an incredibly huge pain to implement in the face of dynamic chages, because to do dynamic changes properly you need a useful concept of the "old style", and you're completely breaking that because the "old style" suddenly has circular dependencies on itself.

This approach is not workable as currently written, imo.
