Thanks Silvia,

That was the only issue that I became aware of during my analysis of  
conversion processes. Certainly 608/708 'green' could be mapped to an  
arbitrary RGB tuple but finger-grained decisions in that area are  
better left to people more experienced in colour theory than myself.  
Your revised text no longer implies that the meaning of 'green' in the  
broadcast and web communities is synonymous and that is the take home  
message from my work in this area.
