I think a bunch of mobile devices these days are still using 16-bit color (though I'm not sure). We also have media queries for roughly the same information. I tend to think if it's something that authors never care about we wouldn't have added it to two different properties on the screen object and to media queries. Though maybe I'm wrong. Otherwise, though, I agree; I don't see the rationale for adding any new features here. -David -- 𝄞 L. David Baron http://dbaron.org/ 𝄂 𝄢 Mozilla http://www.mozilla.org/ 𝄂
