Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] Proposed revisions to "Low-level font variation settings control".

I am not sure how to reconcile the sentences in 5th and 6th paragraphs then, where one is saying "Axis values not present in the font are ignored and therefore have no effect" and another one saying "Axis values greater or less than the range supported by the font are clamped". Considering that we have 'name'/value pair for each axis, is it possible that in first case you meant to refer to missing axis names (i.e. a font doesn't support the axis 'name', therefore a value for this axis is ignored)?
And what about the case where e.g. I define:
`body {
  font-family: myVariableFontA, Helvetica;
  font-variation-setting: wght 700;
}`
where I expect myVariableFontA be applied in bold, and if the font gets substituted with Helvetica - would a browser recognize the bold setting for a fallback font?
