The behavior in HTML presentational attributes is well-defined, and I know that FF and WebKit have identical behavior for them (IE behavior is similar, but not identical last time I checked). They've always been invalid in CSS, though, and no modern browser accepts them. So, they're pretty well standardized and interoperable at this point. Brian's point was just that there is more than one reasonable interpretation of what a 2-digit hex color means. ~TJ
