RE: A few issues with the proposed definition of contrast

We can't, since css3 colour is only a CR, and has been for several years. Besides CSS3 colour introduces varying opacity in colours, which is not accounted for in the contrast model.

Sean pointed out that the definition of colour is not testable with the use of system colours, since we don't know what the colours actually are.

System colors are deprecated in the CSS3 Color Module.

But how do you prevent people from sticking to CSS 2, in which system colours are not deprecated?

Best regards,
