First of all, let's see how many problems fall into the "plain bug"
category, and so are simple to fix (although it needs work and time).

Partly, this kind of customization is already possible by usage of
user style sheets; perhaps we could add a (proprietary) extension for
selecting specific sites.

While we're at this: Attached is a page which renders differently in
dillo and Firefox; the latter closes the "em" implicitely, so that the
red box is below (not inside) the green one.

From my understanding,

 (i) this is incorrect HTML, but
(ii) since "div" is not allowed within "em", this could be easily
     detected, to mimic Firefox behaviour.

This page is a simplified version of a real-word page, and in some
cases, the implications for the rendering are quite extreme.
