My guess is that this would be so slow as to make shr/eww unusable on
typical pages.

shr lives within the constraints of being written in a slow language
(Emacs Lisp) and eschews features that makes it too slow for normal
usage.  There's a gazillion rendering features we could add, but we
haven't because it's not practical within normal timing constraints.
