I don’t have an opinion on color-correction, but I support the other 
changes and a FPWD.

Just an editorial detail: it would be nice to have a single definition, 
maybe in grammar form, of the syntax of <color> values. Something like:

     <color> = rgb() | rgb() | hex-color | …

where each alternative links to the relevant section.

In particular, if I’m reading Appendix A right ("UAs must support …"), 
this definition would include system colors.
