the descriptive text regarding Screen.{color,pixel}Depth does not sufficiently distinguish their semantics, and needs to be further elaborated; furthermore, the statement "If the output device does not support colors these attributes must return zero." does not seem correct, at least in the sense that one can have a monochrome device that supports a pixel depth > 1; e.g., a gray-scale screen
reassign to myself; apparently i am not the default assignee for this component
