> Then from getting from that "some very wide gamut" to the actual screen, I'd prefer things to be non-normative. There is a big "because" missing from that sentence so let me try to fill that in and please correct me if I have misunderstood: "Then from getting from that "some very wide gamut" to the actual screen, I'd prefer things to be non-normative because then we can implement something which is known to give bad results and be surprising to authors, but happens to be super fast so we just pass the burden of doing a good job onto each individual web developer". So given the issue title mentions "breaks author expectations" it may be worth a reminder of the [**Priority of Constituencies**](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/#priority-of-constituencies): > _In case of conflict, consider users over authors over implementors over specifiers over theoretical purity. In other words costs or difficulties to the user should be given more weight than costs to authors; which in turn should be given more weight than costs to implementors; which should be given more weight than costs to authors of the spec itself, which should be given more weight than those proposing changes for theoretical reasons alone. Of course, it is preferred to make things better for multiple constituencies at once._ -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/9449#issuecomment-1980128799 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
