That's true, but for shr it doesn't (in general) make much difference.
That is, if you display a rendered HTML document on two different
displays, it'll look awful anyway, until you re-render tables and the
like with the new width of the glyphs. That is, a layout with
| foo bar | more foo |
| zot | |
rarely looks on two different displays -- even if the :width/:align-to
elements were to magically adjust themselves.
