[css3] is "default" a reserved keyword (RE: [css21] is 'initial' a valid counter name?)

Ok, it makes sense for "initial". Then the specs for both counters and regions should say 

<css21>
 The keywords 'none', 'inherit' and 'initial' are not valid counter/flow names.
</css21>

Now, there is also "default" keyword that is reserved for font names and tentatively mentioned in CSS3 (with a meaning similar to 'initial').

Should 'default' also be reserved for properties of type ident, or is it not defined enough to be included?
