> Testing shows that current Opera, Firefox, and Webkit all ignore 4 and 8 hexit colors.  IE8 ignores 8 hexit colors, but treats 4 hexit colors as white.

The fact that current browsers ignore these colors means that a site author might accidentally specify one of these, and it will be harmless until we start supporting it.

In the past, such changes have resulted in websites that worked in all other browsers but not in Safari. I'm not sure what the best way to mitigate this risk is.
