How values are serialized would only be important if people post-process the serialized values, so it would seem you'd optimize for that, which would mean reducing variability. Compatibility issues aside, you'd turn #rrggbb and rgb(...) into rgba(...) as the rgba notation is a strict su- per set of the former two in terms of what it can represent. So I'm not sure this is a matter of being verbose and precise versus being terse. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
