Hmm. (BTW, do the cc'd recipients wish to be cc'd in addition to www-style?)
How about having the font substitution specified separately from the style
assignment? Like, just have a dedicated region in the style sheet for a
font substitution table. That way you can limit the number of font names to
1 in the 'font' property without losing substitution ability. Besides, it
will make for much cleaner code, which is what style sheets are trying to
do for HTML in the first place, so let's do likewise for the style sheets
themselves.
