New (and hopefully, last until it becomes a W3C Standard) Candidate Recommendation of Portable Network Graphics (PNG) today.

An important new feature is Coding Independent Code Points (CICP) to identify the colorspace. I was thinking of blogging about it.

93% Great, no idea what CICP is
4% Great, heard of it but never used it
0% Dumb idea, ICC profiles are all I need
4% Meh, pretty sure I don't need this

@svgeesus ☑️ Great, even though I know about CICP, I think there need to be more blog posts about CICP

@eeeps I agree. Plan to explain what it is, why it helps, and how widely it is supported. (And of course, what it can't do).

Also, to solve the chicken and egg situation, to promote a new tool to add cICP to existing files.

@svgeesus If you can tell me that CICP is simpler or more understandable than ICC I am 100% onboard without knowing anything about what it is.
