OK fine. But you still haven't solved the issue of how much is enough
_for everyone_ and how to get it "close enough" to Microsoft's
rendering to be acceptable. After all, if the front 90% of the train
is all red and blue and flashing with upper bar/viewing cars, etc.
and the last 10% is a dirty gray coal car...

So what does BSW do? Struggle to implement _exactly_ the same HTML
stuff as Microsoft? How much time/money should they spend getting as
close to exactly the same as MS?
