Thanks for the explanation. I myself are very unfamiliar with HSL and HSV, thoguh what you say makes pretty good sense to me. While googling more about those, I stumbled upon a bug report [1] filed against inkscape which seems to describe the very same issue.

Given I'm not very familiar with inkscape internals either I suggest you add a comment there similar to comment #3. I'd be happy to include eventual patch for more sane values for ranges in HSL color space in Fedora package.
