Or at least make sure both GL/whatever and planes ignore the hints in
the same way. So if you GL implementation is lax then you anyway need
to have some driver/hardware specific knowledge to know which way to go
when using the plane path to get matching output.
Anyone who's serious about quality and is also using GL for video, is not serious about quality. Or accurate timing.

I was more thinking of some global "I want exactly what I said" kind
of knob. Maybe as a client cap type of thingy.
I like the idea of keeping it local to the chroma-siting/range hints, because it makes it far more clear exactly what it affects.
