I don't think this is correct. AFAIK, the rasterizer uses the rendering hints
specified by content [1].

Let's try to clear this up a bit. As I've stated within the same thread [2],
the idea was to allow these rendering hints to *override* the hints already
provided by the content (even if not specified, the lacuna values will be used,
so this is implicit).

Providing a mechanism to override the rendering hints, possibly through the
proposed presets would then be cool to allow optimizing for a few use-cases
(somehow already stated [2] also):
 * Batch or high volume conversion, where speed could be required/desirable
over quality;
 * Printing, where optimal quality would be highly desired given the usually
high resolution available in most output devices;
 * Etc..


I've rephrased the bug's summary to reflect this clarification. :-)
