Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] D50 mismatch in Lab ↔ sRGB algorithms

Thanks! 

So if I understand correctly, the intent of the spec is to:

1. assume CIELAB is relative to D50 (as defined by CIE, not ICC); and furthermore,
2. the method of computing sRGB ↔️ CIELAB (in particular, the choice of matrices) is non-normative.

In regards to 1, this sentence:

> D50 is also the whitepoint used for the profile connection space in ICC color interconversion,

I think may benefit from clarifying the distinction between the ICC definition of D50 and the CIE definition of D50.

In regards to 2, I'm a bit concerned that I've seen many variations on the matrices used to get sRGB ↔️
XYZ<sub>D65</sub> ↔️ XYZ<sub>D50</sub>, or direct sRGB ↔️ XYZ<sub>D50</sub> pairs, and I wonder whether some well-defined matrices in the spec won't lead to more consistent implementations?
