Same as if it isn't. The 'font-family''s computed value is always its
specified value (except with url()s expanded to their absolute form, but
that doesn't matter in this example).

Assuming no other CSS applies, the computed value on <b> would be the same
as on <h1>, since it is always the computed value that inherits. Thus:
"Headline, url(http://example.com/fonts/hdl.zip), serif"

Howcome wasn't asking what you were there for; he merely pointed out that
you misrepresented his proposal. I'm sure this wasn't your intent, but it
does appear that you do not fully understand his proposal. (I'm still
confused as to why you think it isn't backwards compatible, for instance.)
