Description Simon Pieters (:zcorpan) 2019-08-14 05:10:22 PDT 
See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4192 (and in particular the first comment by fantasai)

Test: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/7120

<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
div {
font-family: fantasy;
 }
span { font-family: initial }
</style>
The following two lines should look the same:<br>
test
<div>
<span>test</span>
</div>


This works as expected in Blink and Gecko.
