This is what bothers me. This answer means simulated styles will never be used even if just single font is defined (like MyFont1 above). I do not think this is what Web developers would expect. This is different from people's experience with fonts installed locally and I want it to work with linked fonts too. I do not know how to address this in the spec, maybe we should distinguish between "not specified" and "normal" case.
Thanks,
Sergey
