Comment 12 for bug 677081

Ok, after some thinking, I've found that I've been a little bit too fast...

I've written the following proposal: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Color_Entry_Widget

This speak about this bug discussion but also about the whole idea I have. I thought it was important to share it with you before going ahead on this patch. I don't know whether it's a good idea to implement the whole thing in this single bug request.

I point there the fact that Inkscape is dealing with colors differently than the SVG specification, and I explain my proposal.

Please note that for the moment my patch is not compliant with the alpha proposal you will find in the wiki page (ie appending the default alpha). But in order to not submit a patch per day, I would like first to be sure that this behaviour is wanted before proposing a new one.

Sorry for this issue and thanks for your comments.
