But I'm surprised that web content is viewable at all on an old standard-definition CRT TV. By the time you're down to that resolution, and you've got interlace (so you have to blur horizontal lines to avoid flicker), is it usable?

Are there digital displays which (deliberately, I guess) do not display all the margin outside the safe area (maybe on the grounds that it's boring)? >> > > As I mentioned in the first e-mail on this thread "My team is working with set top boxes and other media devices which connect to TVs". So, yes :) The new web connected tvs, and media devices connected with HDMI cables have high accuracy (little to no content cropped), but when using the RCA cable, and/or an older CRT TV, the problem is quite visible.
