Hi, thanks for replies,
This isn't quite what I meant -- I want the parent object to act like a 'default', i.e. have black stroke and green fill, then clones to inherit these colours, *BUT* with the option of changing the fill/stroke on some of them. The help for "?" implies that this is the way round it's meant to work "make it undefined so it can be inherited",
i.e. "inherit if '?'", but use the local colour if it is given.
In my original clones.svg file, I expect the top (parent) object to be green/black, the middle to be green/red (with an overridden stroke) and the bottom to be green/black again as it's just a clone of the top one with both fill and stroke 'unset'
Many thanks,

Great! I always wondered what the "?" button did. :-)
