Comment(by mikeperry):

 In retrospect Robert, I don't think the bounding rectangle is something we
 can expect to be able to worry about. If rendering size changes per
 client, we need to address the root causes (like the font set provided, or
 the number of fonts available to a given page) rather than trying to mess
 with rendering.

 I think we need to make the same call with WebGL. Pixel depth and other
 video card features is just something we're going to have to eat, I think.
 We should only concern ourselves with identifying information that is
 immaterial to rendering, such as desktop and widget size information.
