Quoting font-family names when not necessary can cause bugs, because
there are some e-mail clients that don't support quoted font-family
names:

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16185#c4

Also, it's more verbose.  Just because CSS 2.1 recommended it doesn't
mean CSS 3 should.  It's not like a normative requirement, where we
have interop that we're breaking by changing it.
