The inherit parameter specifies the class name from which the field space object to be constructed will inherit from. This will define certain behaviors, outside of the scope of this document, tied to the implementation of the MIC-compliant fieldspace. The type of behaviors this will control will be things like the life and scope of the data maintained by the fieldspace (subject to certain restrictions and minimums required by MIC), the mechanism of data propagation and retrieval, etc. It may even be possible to inherit from other existing fieldspaces, e.g., inherit="MICFieldSpace::new_accounts", but this is an untested feature which nevertheless should be supported in a later release.
