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.
