So in the following markup:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" font-weight="100">
<g font-weight="bolder" id="a" font-family="Helvetica">
<g font-weight="bolder" id="b" font-family="Times"/>
<g font-weight="bolder" id="c" font-family="Courier"/>
</g>
</svg>
the computed font-weight for the element with id="c" depends on the Helvetica
fonts available? That doesn't make much sense to me, and contradicts CSS2.1
(though CSS2 could be read in the way you propose, if one wanted to have this
wacky behavior).
