What is the issue with the HTML Standard?
Now that canvases can be more than sRGB, and can even be floating-point, there is a need to indicate how those pixels are to be tone mapped. This problem has existed for a while in WebGPU, so the proposal (linked below) is just to move WebGPU's solution into the HTML specification, and then point WebGPU at that.

Of note is that this proposal does not include any non-trivial tone mapping algorithms (it only provides the two trivial ones). The large "future work" section indicates where standardization is going on for that work.
