Yeah, that's a different class of bug, that's the monitor vendor
refusing to use the precision that the DTD has.

The usual method for fixing that is the quirks table.  My concern in
this particular case is whether it's better to just always disbelieve
1360x768 in DTDs or whether we should build up a ton of quirks.  I've
tended to side with not second-guessing DTD modes out of caution.
