Re: [csswg-drafts] CSS Color 3: Proposed Changes (#6910)

I agree that CC2, 3, and 4 are editorial.

For CC1, I am on the fence. Unless I read the spec to fast, there is no other definition (either inline or by reference) of HSL or of about how one is supposed to go from RBG to HSL or vice-versa, which makes it tempting to consider the conversion code normative. I guess that the intended interpretation is that the normative definition is of HSL is meant to be implied as HSL is a well-know scheme, and the sample code is meant to be informativeā€¦ In practice, that's what really happened, and I don't think anyone was looking at the ABC code to try and figure out what HSL was, but based on the content of the document alone, this seems tricky to establish?

Does [COLORIMETRY], which is a normative reference, contain a definition of HSL which we could consider to be the normative one? That would provide an out.
