[css] Proposal: making Shorthand Hex Colors even shorter (16 grayscale shades)

Hi, I'm new to this list, so please forgive if this topic has been
talked about before.


I'd like to propose to further shorten the css hex color notation.

Known notation:

	.orange { color: #ff6600; }

to:

	.orange { color: #f60; }

I would suggest that for a specific set of 16 grayscale shades,
to reduce the rgb-values to one single character:

	.gray { color: #ccc; }

to:

	.gray { color: #c; }

In addition to it's only marginal bandwith or space saving it
would have the benefit of being concise and easily visible to
the reader, that this code assigns a grayscale color (from a
set of 16 shades, #0 - #f).

What do you think?

Regards,

Markus Bruch
