RE: DFXP LC Comments - Issue 10 Response; Bert Bos

Glenn,

I don't know if it is too late for the following comment.......

I have just noticed that the named colors in DFXP use aqua and fuschia.
Would it be possible to add cyan and magenta **as equivalents** for those
two named colours - bringing DFXP more in line with the color terminology
widely used in the broadcast industry ... (both Teletext and EIA 608/708)
use these color names [magenta, cyan]. I also notice that HTML 4.0 includes
these color names.

Just a minor point - I realise - and one that could be addressed by a
profile... but given some of the target applications of DFXP it might be
'nice' to include these color names!

regards John Birch
