To be exact, they don't apply inside the following shorthands:
  -moz-border-end
  -moz-border-start
  -moz-columns
  background
  border
  border-bottom
  border-image
  border-left
  border-right
  border-top
  the size/weight/style and family parts of 'font'
  list-style
  outline
and also don't apply inside the following complex properties:
  box-shadow
  text-shadow

I suspect that the bit that was documenting an exception for
font-size was documenting the exception (that the quirk *does*
apply) for *within* the 'font' shorthand.
