There may be accessibility situations when color metric operations use xyz color space; having CSS accept xyz would numeric precision and abstract away expensive computing and delegate calibration. Currently, running xyz to hsl in js takes extra cycles. There were similar benefits when hsl was added. Is there a downside to supporting xyz() in CSS colors?
