         When the [=manifest/display=] member is missing, or if there is no
         valid [=manifest/display=] member, the user agent uses the [=display

-        As such, the user agent MUST support the [=display mode/browser=]

override or affect? "applied display mode" sounds like the final result so being able to override it sounds like final-really-final.
