The # keywords 'initial' and 'default' are reserved for future # use and must also be quoted when used as font names. UAs # must not consider these keywords as matching the '<family-name>' type. It's not clear what "these keywords" refers back to. Certainly, we require that 'inherit' does not match the '<font-family>' type.
