Good point. CurrentColor (like everything else) started out as sRGB but could now be any &lt;color>. 

"The keyword currentcolor represents value of the color property on the same element."

And the ED currently says [The names resolve to colors in sRGB.](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#named-colors) but also [(Two special color values, transparent and currentcolor, are specially defined in their own sections.)](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#named-colors).

So the sec needs to stop saying that `currentColor` is a named color.  Or say that all the X11 colors and `transparent` are sRGB but that `currentColor` has no such restriction.
