Tab, I don't think that's true.  Simple testcase:

  data:text/html,<font color="%23000000ff">This is blue</font>

The text is interoperably blue in Webkit and Gecko (with and without the '#') and black in Opera.  With your patch it would render black, right?

The key here, at least in Gecko, is quirks mode.  Webkit seems to do the same thing (blue) in both modes.

Another testcase:

  data:text/html,<font color="0000">This is black</font>

The text is solid black in Webkit/Gecko/Opera; in Webkit and Opera this would even happen in standards mode.  With your patch it would be transparent, right?
