[Bug 942] New: Warns to use generic font-family despite having done so

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=942

           Summary: Warns to use generic font-family despite having done so
           Product: CSSValidator
           Version: CSS Validator
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.employees.org/~lanzo/css/validator-test1.html
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: CSS 2.0
        AssignedTo: ot@w3.org
        ReportedBy: lanzo@cisco.com
         QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org


The validator reports a warning "font-family: You are encouraged to offer a
generic family as a last alternative" despite the fact that you have used a
generic family in every font specification.

As a test, I ran the validator across a document whose *entire* CSS content
consisted solely of:

<style type="text/css">
  body          { font: 10pt Helvetica, sans-serif normal; }
</style>

Even this produces the warning.

Note:  this matches bug 818, which for some reason was closed as "invalid" even
though it is apparently quite valid and easy to reproduce.
