The limitations on name and brightness seem to be the limitations from the
spec. The device does not need to list the possible values if the possible
values are exactly those that the spec says it should support.
As for "color", I understand that the device may not be able to show all
colours, so it may need to report what values are possible. I haven't seen
this kind of capability querying and reporting in the spec so far.
