[whatwg] Error in WebApps spec, chapter 6.1.1.4 "Colours and styles"

This would result in "rgba(255 ,64 ,64 ,128)". I guess the spaces should
be following the comma, so the order of "comma" and "space" should be
reversed each of the three times they are mentioned.

Oh, and while we are at it: do we really want a returned value of
   "rgba(064, 007, 00000000009, 128)"
to be legal? I suppose a CSS parser would allow it, but as we're
specifying the exact format here, the spec should probably
explicitly disallow (or even allow?) zero-padded integers.
