A similar issue in CSS Color was dealt with by making the author-supplied identifiers be dashed idents. I don't thinks we can do that here though, because the weight of existing usage is too great. So yes, if we constantly make new generics then there is a risk that they clash with previously-ok user supplied names. The only wiggle room we have is the use of quoting:
```css
@font-face { font-family: "serif"; ...}
html { font-family: "serif", serif }
```
This will use the webfont called "serif" and then as fallback the generic font family `serif`.
