I think I have found out where the different behaviour comes from: Opera and Win-IE seem to implement CSS2 for 'font-family' only, whereas the others implement CSS2 and CSS21. (I am aware that the reasoning is radically different from my Interpretation 1, which I only guessed at from the rendering results I was seeing). See <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#algorithm>, step 8. It allows using "the inherited or UA-dependent 'font-family' value". This is no longer allowed in CSS21. I unfortunately missed this vital difference between CSS2 and CSS21. It's also not mentioned in current CSS21's Appendix C, Changes, as far as I can see. Regards, Christian.
