I think my book on HTML/XHTML etc etc uses GRAY rather than GREY and doesn't 
mention alternates. I have added your patch, but we probably ought to remove the 
mispellings if they eventually end up leading people astray.

I guess we really ought to translate Color(green) into "green" when it's used in 
a textual context anyhow which might mean problems unless grey --> "gray" (if 
that is the official colour name).
