See bug comment 18. This will address:

(In reply to comment #18)
> 1) Indenting.

Will be done here.

> 
> 2) Continuing to use a different list on iOS than on every other platform

ifdef will be removed.

> 3) Removal of many of the font names that were already listed

I already explained these in bug 133603 comment 19, but I'll update the comment in the CSS refer to

http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/MathML/Fonts

explaining why fonts are necessary, problems with obsolete fonts and importance of customization for consistent rendering (not just the font-size).

> 5) Overriding the font-family but still inheriting the many other
> font-related properties.

I'll add a link to bug 156839.




Additionally, I think I can use @font-face and Ahem to provide a pixel tests checking math font selection.
