Instead let's roll this in with the 406 response - the color attrributes, or any arbitrary media-specific attributes, are just more metadata that the browser could use to make its object selection decision. I.e., the 406 response back for "http://host/image" could look like URI: http://host/image.gif8c Content-type: image/gif; bitdepth=8-color URI: http://host/image.gif8g Content-type: image/gif; bitdepth=8-gray URI: http://host/image.jpg Content-type: image/jpeg URI: http://host/image.tiff Content-type: image/tiff; bitdepth=24-color Or something like that. It looks like the "color" or "bitdepth" or any attribute is going to be at least mime-major-type specific, perhaps subtype-specific too.
