(Supported by many invited experts, W3C staff, and >contributors from member companies, of course.) You've missed my point. Your saying that inclusion of this color set is necessary to codify existing practices, then that means that 2-3 companies (browser vendors) are controlling the content of your specs since they are the ones with "existing practices". Not all existing practices are a good thing to codify, I can think of quite a few non-standard items that were adopted by web authors that were not appropriate for inclusion in the Recommendations. Use of such features by the public who generally just copies things they've seen elsewhere is not evidence of demand nor good practice. Ann
