Ok, you want to impose an unfamiliar color space on Windows users.
Thanks for your opinion.

Um... no. I was asking about something I know /you personally/ are so
wildly opposed to it almost feels like you're religious about it. Yes,
there was a consensus against a certain class that I (because we are not
talking about it) won't name. Like Olaf, I don't recall a consensus
against HSL in general (not unless "Zack Rusin and Thomas Zander" == "a
consensus"). In fact, a number of people have stated that they prefer
HSL. Furthermore, both Redmond and WC3 prefer it, as do the Inkscape
developers and PSP developers, and still others support both.
Anyway, I don't see the point in continuing this line of conversation.
You obviously feel the need to make your opinion heard. Fine. To be nice
to Windows users, I plan to, at some point, add a *private* HSL
implementation to KColorDialog, which will then be redundant with the
one in khtml. If that bothers anyone, it can be fixed later.
