I agree with `#1`.

About `#2`, Kai fonts used to be mapped to `cursive` in Webkit and Blink and Gecko. Webkit removed recently.
It is not well-known by web designer that they can use `cursive` for Kai font in desktop environment. 
And for Chinese both Traditional and Simplified, only san-serif font is available for web content.

So I think it is ok to remove the description in [2.1.3 Generic font families.](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-4/#cursive-def).
