Why has the "initial" value been added to CSS3? It does not seem to offer 
additional functionality in the way that "inherit" does. For example:

    font-size: initial

can always be replaced by the equivalent rule:

    font-size: medium

and so on for all other properties. What is the "default" value? And how
does it differ from "initial"?
