It has nothing to do with the spec's inheritance behavior; if the reader's stylesheet has:
PHP Code:
h1 { font-family: ... ; }
then setting the font on the body won't do the trick. I don't entirely trust them not to set default heading fonts that are different from the body font in the future. After all, if it makes sense for book authors to do so...
