In case where font-style descriptor is not specified, spec says "default values are assumed". What is default value? Is this equivalent to specified "font-style:normal"?

Properties are used to request particular rendering for a given element in the document; descriptors are used to describe a given font and are used to match available fonts against font properties. So some descriptors have the same name as some properties, but not necessarily the same defaults. -- Chris Lilley Technical Director, Interaction Domain W3C Graphics Activity Lead, Fonts Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG Member, CSS, WebFonts, SVG Working Groups
