The effect would be to override the default >font for (mi ... ) entries in the scope of the (mfont ...). Fonts have several orthogonal attributes such as weight, slant, size, family, color, encoding. This list is not exhaustive. We should make sure that whatever mechanism we have for changing a font attribute cleanly changes just that attribute, and doesn't reset other attritributes. Eg, changing the font weight to bold should not affect whether the font is plain, italics, oblique, red, green, etc. We should also make sure that we can change all of the important attributes of a font. I thought we were going to try and be compatible with font specifications as used (planned?) in the rest of html. Is your proposal compatible with normal html font specifications?
