RFC2308, introducing $TTL and updating RFC1035, says:

   The Master File format [RFC 1035 Section 5] is extended to include
   the following directive:

                           $TTL <TTL> [comment]

   All resource records appearing after the directive, and which do not
   explicitly include a TTL value, have their TTL set to the TTL given
   in the $TTL directive. [...]

It appears to me that "after the directive" and "which do not explicitly
include a TTL value" overrides the RFC 1035 inheritance rule.  We might
need a spec clarification here, though.
