The CSS working group published what it hopes will be the last working draft of "CSS3 module: Color" (or "css3-color" for short). As usual, comments are welcome on this mailing list, <www-style@w3.org>. The deadline for comments is May 17, after which date the working group will analyze the comments, answer those not yet answered, and decide whether to propose the draft as a "W3C Candidate Recommendation" or not. The URL of the draft is: http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-color-20020418 For those of you who have read the previous draft, here is a short list of the most important changes: - All properties now have an entry for "computed value" that defines how the computed value of a property is derived from the specified value in the style sheet. - The 'opacity' property has an optional second value, that indicates how important it is that the UA honors the property. This is meant to help browsers on (small) devices whose hardware only allows one or two elements to be transparent. Values are '1' (very important), '2', '3',... 'none' (very unimportant) - 'transparent' is defined to mean "transparent black" (rgba(0,0,0,0)) instead of "transparent white." The color may seem unimportant, but has to be defined when the property is animated with SMIL, e.g., to become progressively less transparent. - The first argument of 'hsl()' is now a number without a unit. This way colors are easier to compare, and nobody wanted to specify the hue in 'rad' instead of 'deg' anyway. - The 'flavor' property is not deprecated anymore. Instead, it is left to profiles, such as the Mobile Profile, to define whether they support a property or not. There is no test suite yet.
