I don't have a strong opinion either way, but the following should be considered: the point of specifications is interoperability. Many UAs implement the X11 colour keywords, but currently there are lots of minor variations in their implementation. (You say "gray", I say "grey".) UAs are not going to stop supporting these colours. And apart from being an ugly, poorly designed set of colours, they don't cause any harm. (Unlike <font>, which will probably continue being supported forever, but which _does_ cause serious harm.) -- Ian Hickson )\._.,--....,'``. fL "meow" /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. http://index.hixie.ch/ `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
