Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-4] Expand the concept of analogous components to analogous sets of components to minimize `none` → `0` conversions (#10210)

That doesn't really answer the question of whether carrying forward analogous missing components is expected _as part of the color conversion process_, as suggested when you said "The intention is to preserve missing components / `none` as much as possible. So if there are algorithms where it isn't stated and where it could be preserved, then we should change that." Every use of §11 Converting Colors, such as for serialization as discussed in #10254, _could_ preserve missing components. Currently only interpolation in Colors 4 and relative color functions in Colors 5 do so, because only those are called out explicitly and the spec text says it should not be done otherwise. I'm looking for a resolution between this apparent contradiction between informal spec author statements and the spec text.
