The wording for describing unquoted family names has been
changed in CSS 2.1, you should review the wording here:

http://www.w3.org/Style/css2-updates/css2/fonts.html#font-family-prop

With this, unquoted family names need to be a sequence of identifiers
(in CSS terms), so effectively that requires quoted strings for the
example you mention. My intention is to incorporate this updated CSS
2.1 wording into CSS3 Fonts.
