Since the representation of color information is being opened up, I'd like to propose that we allow colors to be represented by their wavelength. While not very natural for writing by a human, it provides a more precise notation and more complete coverage of the spectrum than the other proposed formats. This requires minimal changes in the spec: we already have a very complex system of length measurements in place. Wavelength can use any of those, though angstroms would probably be a worthwhile addition to the that set for this purpose. I'm still contemplating the possibilities that being able to specify the color in em's open up. <mike
