No, I quoted the *very next* sentence.

Yes - all implementations pass that simple case. These cases, though,
show different behavior across browsers:
font-family: inherit, bar;
font-family: foo, inherit;
font-family: inherit foo, bar;
font-family: foo inherit, bar;
font-family: foo, inherit bar;
font-family: foo, bar inherit;
I'm not sure exactly which are different and which are similar across
different browsers, but they should all be tested to ensure adequate
coverage.
