Perhaps, assuming that's what's been implemented, although that would
only define 10 of the 12 operators in the spec.  But that paper doesn't
define binary operators for 'darker' and 'lighter', which seem to be
among the less-interoperable right now.  (It defines a unary 'darken'
operator over a space of numeric parameters.)
