Manual specification, such as with facemenu, should go on the face property.
However, automatic font specification -- anything equivalent in spirit
to Font-Lock mode -- should set font-lock-face instead.

The purpose of this is so that M-x font-lock-mode will toggle whether
those faces actually appear in the display.

Thus, if html-mode sets the faces through `face', it should be fixed
to set `font-lock-face' instead.
