The Colors 3 spec is quite old and stable, and accurately describes how all browsers behave currently. Changing the way that colors interpolate by default would be a breaking change that wouldn't be accepted - it would cause any content that currently relies (either explicitly or implicitly) on sRGB interpolation to display the wrong colors. ~TJ
