It seems like a substantial amount of work to get dynamic change handling correct for this case, since system colors can change dynamically when the user changes system appearance. I'd really like to avoid having to add dynamic change handling for this, and I'd also like to avoid having to make system colors dynamic in CSS but static in HTML. (The current wording in the spec seems to mandate that they are static, which seems like a bad idea in itself.) 37418 1 Ms2ger 2010-08-14 16:52:51 +0000 WFM: <http://www.whatwg.org/html/#rules-for-parsing-a-legacy-color-value>
