Re: [csswg-drafts] Adding of video-* properties and dynamic-range to handle bi-plane scenarios (#4678)

It would of course be great to reference some widely agreed definition of High Dynamic Range or Wide Color Gamut as they pertain to display capabilities. However, I'm not aware that any such thing exists. Given any candidate for such a thing, someone will make a display that is 1 nit less bright or has 0.1% P3 smaller gamut and claim (accurately) that the experience on that display is just as deserving of the moniker.

In any case, the question that the site wishes to answer with these properties is whether the user experience will be better if the HDR / WCG version of the content is provided (and mapped down to the display capability) than if the SDR / NCG version is provided (and mapped up to the display capability). This of course is a matter of opinion. The opinion that matters in this case is the users (or, some may argue, the filmmakers).

So, I think the best we can do is ask the user's agent to answer this question on behalf of the user.
