Even if rainbow-mode.el were included in Emacs with the HSL/HSV
conversions, it sounds like you still want to continue developing
css-color.el (which is fine, of course).  Woijciech and Lennart wanted
to merge the two; it seems unlikely based on your comments.

Right now rainbow-mode.el seems like a better fit for Emacs because it's
more generally useful.  Do you have objections to that, or do you want
some time to add the features you mentioned to css-color.el and then we
can reevaluate things?

Julien, do you have any comments on the HSV/HSL conversions or any other
part of this conversation?
