Accessibility section of the CSS COLOR HDR spec says:

Some individuals may have a sensitivity to very bright colors, so user agents should provide a mechanism to limit the maximum luminance at user option.

Cite: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-hdr-1/#a11y

Apple's Reduce White Point is an accessibility feature for users experiencing light-sensitivity; often a comorbidity of low vision.

My question is how should this (or other UA switch as recommended) be implemented to work within the cascade context of HDR images and video? I heard some proposals about adding an user agent style sheet property (or using dynamic-range-limit?) to enable HDR by default, but allow authors (or an UA/AT feature like Reduce White Point) to override the default value.

I assume Reduce White Point acts on the entire screen? Isn't the OS-level reduction sufficient?
