Colour specification in style sheets

I am writing to express support for Steven Pemberton's idea that the CSS
committee should accept a more human-oriented notation for colour. Although
there are technical limitations to the HSL method of colour specification,
these limitations are shared by the RGB method of colour specification. The
main benefit of HSL specification is that it is easier to use (even for
experts) than RGB (for support and algorithms, see my book "Effective Color
Displays", Academic Press 1991).
