It would contain a prose description of a color space. UA and back-end vendors will read the description and implement it. If there is some way to specify a color-space in a machine readable format so that a new program can instantly learn to support it, then you should register it under an FPI, every browser can implement it and we can throw away all of the rest. I don't believe that such a beast exist, and DSSSL isn't artificially intelligent. All I claimed is that it can support multiple color spaces, not arbitrary ones created on the fly! Paul Prescod
