[Bug 17522] New: pixelDepth and colorDepth do not mean the same thing.

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17522

           Summary: pixelDepth and colorDepth do not mean the same thing.
           Product: CSS
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSSOM View
        AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org
        ReportedBy: neils.christoffersen@gmail.com

The CSSOM View spec section 4.2 defines two properties on the Screen interface:
pixelDepth and colorDepth.

The spec is unclear/wrong on two counts:

1. pixelDepth and colorDepth are defined together, implying that they should
always be the same. If they are always identical, then there is no point in
having two properties.

2. Pixel depth and color depth do not always mean the same thing, depending on
the display device.
