Variable Fonts example code not matching description

What specific section or headline is this issue about?

"Example for a standard upright (Roman) font" and "Example for a font that contains only italics and no upright characters"

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Each of these sections provides a sample @font-face definition and a description. The descriptions discuss oblique 0deg and oblique 14deg values, but I didn't see any such value in the sample code.

What did you expect to see?

If the example is correct as-is (e.g., the oblique values are implied), the wording could be improved to clarify. Otherwise, the code block could be updated to add some code related to oblique, or the description altered to remove such references.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

It seems the descriptions were added in 796096b without a change to the code.

Do you have anything more you want to share?

The example is correct as-is. We meant to imply font-style: oblique 0deg and font-style: oblique 0deg 20deg are equivalent to font-style: normal. Submitted a PR to rephrase the sentences.
