No, #00f and #0000ff specify exactly the same color, #0000ff,
aka. rgb(0,0,255), independently of what device it may be displayed on.
The equivalence is at the defintion level - the meaning of #xyz is
defined as the meaning of #xxyyzz.

Translating this color to an actual display happens later.

Well, in the W3C DOM's ECMAScript mapping, HTML elements are
represented by Element objects, and I would personally call them
"elements" when discussing them. Just as I call functions that,
even though they are "just" special objects.
