Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] What happens to rgb() etc with Working Color Spaces?

Doesn't sound great to me.
- "darkolivegreen should be the most darkolivegreenish in the working 
color space". What's that supposed to mean? I sorta see why you'd want
 that for red, green, blue and possibly other fully saturated colors, 
but for the rest, it doesn't make much sense.
- This would be error prone and author hostile. Changing the color 
space of your previously perfectly working page in order to do some 
new things that call for a bigger gamut mean that you'd need to 
redefine all the colors in your page, or they'll end up different.
