Yeah, that's a very awkward of putting it, so I've now tweaked it some.

It just mentions one example where named faces are required, and I think
the reader will take from that that Emacs will document when you can't
use anonymous faces. Since font locking doesn't say anything about
that, then the natural interpretation is that font locking doesn't
require named faces.
