[css-color] "full numbers, not just integers"?

[impressivewebs]

Re: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color/#rgb-functions

In the description of the rgb functions it says, in part:

the CSS syntax allows full <number>s, not just <integer>s, for authoring convenience

This seems to imply that the numbers can be decimals (e.g. rgb(3.4, 34.6, 144.7). The number type description, which the above quote links to, explains that a <number> can be fractional. But I don't see this working in an rgb function. Can this section clarify a little better what exactly is meant by "full numbers, not just integers"?

Correct. That is because the <number> type in CSS Colors 4 is a relaxation of the definition in CSS Colors 3, which only allowed <integer> values.

But I don't see this working in an rgb function.

As far as I know, there is no user agent supporting this yet.

Correct, UAs just haven't caught up to this yet.

Ah ok... Good to know. Thanks guys.

FWIW, I've just created an enhancement request for Gecko asking for this.
