My mistake, I thought '000000' was actually a valid color production in 
terms of
HTML 4. It appears that the hash mark is required although it is not really
normatively said in any way.

Then I guess it should be part of the (tag soup) parser to treat '000000' as a
color production so the UA style sheet could use
`[color]{color:attr(color,color)}`.
