margin inheritance

This site:

http://www.westciv.com/style_master/...es/margin.html

states that "An element does not inherit the margin property of the
element which contains it." (under the "Is it inherited?" section).

Is that true? I thought it was the opposite. If true, can it be forced
using "margin:inherit"?
