Description
https://w3c.github.io/editing/ActiveDocuments/execCommand.html#the-bold-command
Currently Blink thinks font-weight >= 600 is bold while Gecko thinks >= 500 is bold enough, as the spec currently describes.
The spec somehow decided to follow Blink behavior, but do we really think Blink one is the best here? Does Gecko behavior actually look better? Should Gecko follow Blink or vise versa?
