It happened as part of the changes in X11R5 to support
device-independent color, but it was never part of the Xcms.  This is
all unrelated though.

And at this point, the `rgbi:' syntax in Emacs stops implementing the
syntax understood by the X server.  So there is no point in limiting it
to what is understood by the X server again, since the new syntax
doesn't break anything.
