Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Channel clipping breaks author expectations, especially when using 'perceptually uniform' spaces (#9449)

I agree with @facelessuser - it is confusing that the claim of how this color 'will look in the future' is not in any way maintaining a perceptually uniform lightness. Which makes it seem like _actually not the color we should get in the future_. To frame this again as an author:

The expectation here is that _lightness should remain perceptually uniform_ at any point in the scale. And that should remain true over time. As screens allow brighter HDR colors, that shouldn't 'move' our current definition of 'white', or push colors farther from it. (I think that's the result of 'extending up' instead of 'extending out'?) 

The lightness scale shouldn't be changing around us in the future. So I would expect a highly-saturated future-display 90%-light-magenta to remain _perceptually 90%-light_ (based on current scale) - even if the saturation changes dramatically. And I would be perfectly happy with that as an author.
