CSS1 has this to say on the matter:
The format of an RGB value in the functional notation is 'rgb('
followed by a comma-separated list of three numerical values
(either three integer values in the range of 0-255, or three
percentage values in the range of 0.0% to 100.0%) followed
by ')'. Whitespace characters are allowed around the numerical values.
CSS2 and CSS2.1 have the wording you cited (which differs only in its handling
of values outside the 0-255 and 0%-100% range). So looks like the spec has said
what it says all along. Not sure what the deal with howcome and Bert's book is. ;)
