They were not semantically equivalent but clearly intended to be. Only the X 
and Windows versions accepted the rgbi: format; most if not all had bad 
error-checking (simple typos silently giving nonsense values), and the Windows 
version appears to have normalised incorrectly in some cases (this is from 
reading the code with no Windows machine handy).

The new code should parse a superset of what the old code did, detect more 
mistakes, and be as accurate as we can make it.
