  Speaking  from  experience  gained  from  having to handle HTML
parsing  errors,  and table apportioning algorithms, with all the
contradicting directives, overrides, etc.

  In  the  long  run,  having  dillo  decide  the final values by
adding  a cleanup stage at some points, has emerged as the choice
with better rendering.

  (e.g. w3c_plus_heuristics=YES, cleanup_at_{open, close}(), 
contrast_visited_color=YES, ...  ;)
