I'm not quite following what you've written here. I think you're saying
you would like the initial values of color-interpolation to be changed
to linearRGB but I'm not sure how that would stay compatible with
css3-color?
I am unsure at what stage css3-color is, i.e. whether one needs to remain
compatible with it at the cost of correctness, or whether it is perferable
to align css3 and png in this regard. AFAICT this was unspecified before,
but of course, it wasn't implemented correctly anywhere so I see that's not
a very convincing argument.
Nonetheless, it would be higher up in the order of preference I just gave.
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.

Oops, that was my fault, I meant to refer to css-color level 4. Level 3
is a recommendation, of course, and all of it is widely available.
Anyway, it would be odd to have a different default depending on when
things were specified.
Cheers,
Simon
