Yeah, it may not have been clear, but what is intended is that the
fourth bullet in the 2.1 spec (detailing how to fill in holes in the
100-900 range) be made normative.  The previous bullets (talking about
how to assign font weights to CSS weights) is to be left in its
current state of implementation-defined-ness.
