Yes, but if so, it's probably worth noting that restriction in the spec. (It also means that we would have to make sure never to serialize strings using their original delimiters, but always convert '' to "".) > >I'm not particularly committed to keeping it that way, though. > >However, I'm somewhat concerned about the idea of switching to > >#rrggbb notation since rgb() can handle out-of-sRGB values whereas > >#rrggbb cannot.

My main gripe here is <canvas> > which uses #rrggbb and IE, which also uses #rrggbb (though I should > probably test that again to be sure). rgb() allows rgb(300,-10,300). -David -- L.
