Having #111 or #444 mean #111111 or #444444 might seem like a good idea to
some, and for those, more power to you.  To me, and I suspect an unheard
mass out there, it is a triviality, best left unused.  If you mean #111111,
say #111111, and everyone will know what you mean.

I would have to agree with this.

With my  project manager hat on i would testify  that the biggest problem is
maintainence of code that contains uncommented shorthand!

So the following are both satisfactory

<!--shorthand CSS color method-->
<span style='color:#fff;'>...

or

<span style='color:#ffffff;'>...

And in fact the 'terse form' is more verbose!
