> They are added to CSS merely to codify current practice. > Almost every browser supports them Common browsers support lots of things that are not standard. That is not reason in itself to make them standard. X11 colours are poorly-designed and provide no benefit over just using rgb values. There is no reason to make them a requirement of a CSS3 implementation. An informative note and link to X11COLORS for browser authors' benefit would be enough. > Adding the exact list that is implemented by the majority of browsers gives > authors something to refer to. Authors should not be encouraged to use the X11 colours. -- Andrew Clover mailto:and@doxdesk.com http://and.doxdesk.com/
