For exampel size. So if you have a default face font which is fully specified (no undefined parts) no font change will happen. That is right. I made the change because in a specific circumstance it was wrong for the defaults to be overridden here. In some cases, you've found, it is right for the defaults to be overridden here. We need someone to figure out what distinguishes the case where they should be overridden from the case where they should not be.
