Since we want to expose "used values” and “active values" by CSS OM - why not let currentColor always get the same color that a “active value” property or function would return? I mean we should not differ between currentColor with “sanitized ‘color’” and another one. Just always use the “sanitized ‘color’” for currentColor. That's silly. There's no reason to break currentcolor just because :visited is being used. Plus, depending on implementation strategy, actually getting the sanitized color is expensive (as you have to rerun style matching, excluding all rules with :visited in their selectors). ~TJ
