Perhaps because "bolder" isn't implemented yet... :-\

I wonder why it wasn't just aliased to "bold" until a better option
became available.
Weird, the property resolution code to compute the correct value for
"bolder" seems to be OK, so I always thought this was implemented, but
now that you mention it, I went looking and it seems no tests have been
added to check for this.
The sad thing is that tools like CSS2XSLFO output "bolder" for a <b>
tag, so I have to post-process its FO to change them all to bold.
As a temporary workaround, one could easily implement that post-
processing via XSLT. Identity transform for everything but the attribute
"font-weight" when it has a value of "bolder".
That's basically what I'm doing. In actual fact I'm doing it with a custom
XMLFilter which I figured should be slightly faster. I had to use a custom
filter anyway because I also had to fix its output to quote font family
names with spaces in them (I can nuke that hack once the next stable FOP
comes out, of course.)
