+ * it, so the space-separated forms, the comma forms, `rgba` and `hsla` are all
+ * taken. What is written back is whichever of hex, rgb or hsl the component is
+ * set to, so a value stays in the shape the consumer asked for however it was
+ * entered.
+ *
+ * **What is written is the comma form.** Both are valid, and the commas are what
+ * a reader recognizes, what most code around them holds, and what pastes into
+ * anything without a second thought. A syntax a value is handed *out* in is not
+ * the place to be early. `rgba` and `hsla` come with them, since a comma form
+ * with a fourth argument is spelled that way.
+ *
+ * **Core's rather than a field's, because the CSS color grammar is the
+ * platform's.** Nothing here needs a color picker to make sense, and two
+ * families read it already. It is arithmetic with no DOM in it, so it runs on a
+ * server, which is also why named colors are refused below: resolving
+ * `rebeccapurple` means asking a browser that is not there.
+ *
+ * **One decision in here is a default rather than a capability.** What
+ * `formatColor` writes back, the comma form and an alpha only where one was
+ * asked for, is a choice about what a value looks like when it is handed out.
