In addition, I ran the whole test suite on Edge 16 (which was largely 
missing results) and that one test on Safari TP. Both fail that test.

Yes. From https://www.w3.org/2017/Process-20170301/#revised-rec

"To make corrections to a Recommendation that produce substantive 
changes <https://www.w3.org/2017/Process-20170301/#substantive-change> 
but do not add new features, or where there were votes against 
publishing the corrections directly as a Recommendation 
<https://www.w3.org/2017/Process-20170301/#rec-pr>, a Working Group 
/may/ request publication of a Candidate Recommendation 
<https://www.w3.org/2017/Process-20170301/#last-call>, without passing 
through earlier maturity levels."

I'm therefore preparing a Transition Request for CR.

*That requires a minuted decision to request CR. Given the US 
Thanksgiving holiday and thus the likely lack of a call next week, I 
would like the chairs to issue a call for consensus on this public 
mailing list.*

CSS Color 3 uses the old .src.html format. I ran it through the old 
converter, then fixed those issues that could be corrected in the .src 
while fixing the rest in the generated html, ready for publishing. Fixes 
included broken links to old or dissapeared references, updating call 
for review comments to be on GitHub, and updating the testsuite section 
to point to the current testsuite.

It now seems to pass pubrules.
