We have to worry about more than just the people who write CSS style sheets; we also have to worry about the people who *read* CSS style sheets. Every time we add a new way to write CSS style sheets, we're also adding something else that people who want to read CSS style sheets have to learn. (I'm not convinced that hsl() and hsla() were a good idea.) It's not necessarily obvious visually that four or eight digits of hex after a # is different from three or six digits. People who haven't seen it before won't necessarily know what it means or how to look it up. "rgba" and "hsla" are at least terms that an author can search for. -David -- L.
