Since the font-family descriptor takes a <family-name>, won’t this only
have an effect if the 'font-family' property selects a font named
"sans-serif" and not if the generic family name sans-serif is used?
@font-face {
font-family: sans-serif;
src: local("Arial"), local("Helvetica"), …
}
#a { font-family: sans-serif } /* whatever the UA sans serif font is */
#b { font-family: "sans-serif" } /* matches the @font-face above */
