Interesting and a good initiative. I agree with the guy on the gimp mailing 
list that there should be a provision for a license in the spec. And I think 
the ways of defining the colors should be extended: it should be possible to 
define colors in lab, cmyk and other colorspaces. And it should be possible 
to define colors in other ranges than 0-255, for instance 0-1. And to make 
sure that there's some sense in the defined colors, a reference to a profile 
should be possible.
