I personally agree with Honza, in that accept flags are intuitively expected to be non-heritable, and that dotted flags should only be 'accepted' by packages explicitely accepting them.

The good point is that it would make the parsing code easier and not more complex...

Another related question: Is the dotted flag and accept flags usage currently documented somewhere? That would be a nice addition if not already done. If already present, we should also update it to reflect the behaviour we will eventually choose.
