I don't think it confuses authors any more, and possibly a lot less, than having three ways to do essentially the same thing. > The "msapplication-navbutton-color" and > "apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" are prefix and browser specific, > brand-color is general and could be standard for all browsers. That the keywords are prefixed is a mistake made by the relevant vendors, but I don't think it should stop us from using them if they are appropriate. Looking at those two keywords more closely, it seems that "apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" wouldn't work because it doesn't take a CSS colour, it takes some specific keywords. However, "msapplication-navbutton-color", and, maybe better, "msapplication-TileColor", seem like pretty good fits to me. I don't really understand why one would avoid just reusing those, either instead of, or at least as well as, a newer more generic term. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
