You mean things like the Yxy primaries and the MD5 ID? That's
perfectly in scope for my little parser here, I just didn't include it
yet as I wanted to get the core stuff implemented and reviewed.

Sure, but it's an additional dep, which also drags in quite a few
chunks of the weirder parts of X11. We don't need a deps list like
that just to parse a few fields in an EDID blob.
