Reporting stanza is not inherited from parent

I have a multi-level project using Maven 1.0.2 that I am working on converting to Maven 2. In the 1.0.2 environment, I have the top level project define a number of defaults for all of the projects; this allows the project.xml and maven.xml files for lower-level projects to be small (or in the case of the maven.xml file, unneeded).

While working towards building up the inheritance in the new model, it appears that the information in the <reporting> stanza of the top level project is not getting inherited by the lower-level projects. To get any reports to be generated, I need to copy the <reporting> stanza from the parent into each lower-level project.
