Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Fallback strategy for nonexistent color spaces? (#6129)

> custom color spaces depend on separate HTTP requests, which could always fail for whatever reason

Even if the http request succeeds, in some cases the custom profile may fail. In a [comment to #5931](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5931#issuecomment-788897093) I summarized four hypothetical profile failure cases, the first one being that the profile type may not be supported by the device.

One example of a profile format that may or may not work is iccMAX, moreover in the future a browser (or a printing software) may support some non-ICC profile on certain platform and then some authors may decide to use it, despite other UAs (or other platforms) not allowing that.

My point is that this issue is wider than just "the http request failed" or "the request took too much to complete".
