/confused Let's see if I can get this straight. You're opposed to 2 digit expansion because it follows a different pattern. But you're ok with 1 digit expansion which is a degenerate flavor of 2 digit expansion's pattern. Ok.... All that said (though certainly not sorted out), I don't think either #H or #HH are worthwhile *yet*. Current 3 digit expansion expands characters within a color channel. The proposed 1 and 2 digit expansions expand characters *across* color channels. That seems like a step in the wrong direction w/r/t complexity. What should 4 digit expansion do? Should it expand characters in both ways (same channel and across channels)? I think we can agree on a strong "No!" at such chaos. What I *would* like to see considered is using 4 digit and 8 digit syntax as an alternative to rgba(). Supporting any flavor of 1, 2, 4, or 5 digit syntax *before* addressing support for RGBA seems like a paint-your-self-in-a-corner exercise.
