Description Anton P 2012-01-02 17:05:25 UTC 
Reported by David Baron

The "Computed value:" line in http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#propdef-font-weight says "see text", but nothing in the text explicitly says how to find the computed value.

The computed value for 'font-weight' should be described as a number in 100, 200, 300, ... 900, such that:
 * normal computes to 400
 * bold computes to 700
 * bolder and lighter compute according to the table given in the prose
