Hi Cecil,
The expression "must not" in the specification is to be understood as
described in RFC 2119:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/conform.html#q1
Thus, in your example
a {font-family: "Serif";}
the string "Serif" actually refers to a font with this name, as David
and Philip already pointed out.
Enabling warnings in the CSS validator when validating this fragment,
the validator issues a warning:
| font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a last
alternative
This warning tells you that you missed supplying a generic font family
keyword like serif.

Cheers,
jens
