I disagree with you. That is, you claim that picture-perfect rendering
is needed for interoperability, but you have not supported that claim.
I claim that it is not needed for interoperability, and I have pointed
out that "picture-perfect" is irrelevant in other modalities. Therefore,
your argument lacks a foundation.

And therefore would not be any help with interoperability.

It's not about painting pixels on a screen. It is about empowering people.
