As I pointed out in http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2010-May/026449.html this isn't compatible with doing the following simultaneously: * using the algorithm given, which converts the values to colors at parse time * correctly handling dynamic changes of system appearance for the system color values Correctly handling dynamic changes of system appearance here would be a significant amount of work even if the algorithm here changed, and I'd really rather not add that support for a legacy feature, nor would I like to have an inconsistency between CSS and HTML as to whether system colors are dynamically updated. -David -- 𝄞 L.
