The way font-weight works with numbers is to be able to change the weight not just normal and bold. So no, it doesn't actually work as intended. 500 should have more weight than 400 (normal) and 600 should have more weight than 500, but less than 500. 900 should have more weight than bold. So if these things do not happen, then it does not work and it doesn't happen so it does not work.

Not to be a spoilsport, Jon, BUT: that only works (bold, bolder, or 500, 700, etc.) if the font supports it. Many, many fonts have a single bold typeface. If you have one bold typeface, you can type bold and bolder from now until hell freezes over, and naught will happen. If you have a real family font--so that you have several levels of bold, sure, that works.
