>From CSS 2.1 15.6 Font boldness, I would have expected bold i.e. :

Normal weight -> 100,200,300,400,500
Bold weight -> 600,700,800,900

Assuming a's font-weight is 400 then :

b -> 700
c -> 800
d -> 700

Note that I am not necessarily saying this is the right way to do it or my own preference. But this is how I understand the specification's prose in this case.
