A fourth section may be required as well: at this level the frame rate
(or frame time) range makes more sense than the low-level blanking
values. The blanking values can be calculated from the frame time and a
flag which tells whether either horizontal or vertical blanking should
be preferred.

How does one typically select between horizontal and vertical blanking ?
Do mixed modes make sense ?

There are minimums and maximums for both. You can increase the frame
time by increasing value for either or both of them --- to achieve very
long frame times you may have to use both, but that's not very common in
practice. I think we should have a flag to tell which one should be
increased first --- the effect would be to have the minimum possible
value on the other.

But how do you decide in practice which one to increase when you're an
application (or middleware) developer ?

I think it's the responsibility of this library to do that, unless the user wants really, really precise control in which case they have to deal with the blanking values directly. In general it should be the library.
