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

In fact the table has HLS intead of HSL, that's why I suggested adding HSL and HWB.

It adds reliability, which should not be dismissed: if you _know_ that your color space uses RGB (as opposed to just assuming it), you are certain about what the approximate rules are if you want to derive a fallback. And you could add a colorimetric definition to the color model, to have a more accurate derivation of the fallback. That would be more complex, admittedly.

That said, there is the question that perhaps most use cases of custom profiles would want either a full success or an easy-to-detect failure (unless they configure an explicit fallback-related descriptor like the one mentioned above or what @LeaVerou suggested earlier).
