Note that these profiles are non-normative. What you can use in HTML attribute values (other than the style='' attribute) is controlled solely by the HTML specification. As far as HTML 4.01 is concerned, you can only use the 16 HTML 4 color keywords. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
