You're framing this as if it's a moral imperative, and I reject the
implication.  Anybody is free to render data in however way they
prefer -- it's an essential freedom.

As a practical matter, I've already explained why the patch isn't
appropriate for shr.  shr's handling of images should be improved, but
your proposed patch would make more things unreadable than it would
help, so it's not going to be applied.
