icon-theme-spec: Inherits=

The spec states:
The name of the theme that this theme inherits from. If an icon
name is not found in the current theme, it is searched for in
the inherited theme (and recursively in all the inherited
themes).
But exactly how should the inheritance tree be parsed?
My experimental icon theme:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=27410
has:
Inherits=kdeclassic,hicolor_1,crystalsvg
where "hicolor_1" is a link:
hicolor_1 -> hicolor
to avoid another problem.
The KDEClassic theme has:
Inherits=default
and this does not work as expected so it is necessary to modify
KDEClassic as stated on KDE-Look for it to work as expected.
Specifically, what I expect is that the icon loader will search:
1. usr_hicolor
2. kdeclassic
3. hicolor_1 -> hicolor
4. crystalsvg
And then see what "kdeclassic" inherits.
However, it does not work this way. It appears that unless KDEClassic
is modified that #3 is crystalsvg and this is not the expected behavior.
