DFXP LC Comments - Named Colors - was RE: DFXP LC Comments - Issu e 10 Response; Bert Bos

All,
 
Oh dear... replying to myself....
 
Two apologies... first for hijacking another thread... second for
incorrectly stating that cyan and magenta are supported as named colours in
HTML4.0.
 
I think I must have been browsing an early draft (or third party
interpretation). However, my comment still stands - can we add these named
colors to DFXP?
 
regards (and apologies)

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
