Hi folks.

WebKit has a CSS property named color-correction. It’s still prefixed, so some 
would call it -webkit-color-correction and I don’t think it’s yet been proposed 
as a CSS standard.

Apple engineers added this a while back so that WebKit could continue interpret 
webpage and image colors as device native color space for performance and to 
match content from legacy plug-ins. The property allowed some web content to 
specify sRGB to get predictable results when correctness mattered more than 
performance.

If I’m not mistaken, this optimization is no longer effective on either of the 
Apple platforms. I’m pretty sure we always do the color correction. I suspect 
no one needs this feature.

I suggest we remove the property.

Does anyone know a good reason not to remove it? I won’t necessarily land the 
code to remove it right away, but I’d like to get agreement on this now so I 
can do that later.
