How exactly are you able to verify that when you received the information
from a website that undoubtedly modified the input it was given to be
correctly represented internally, and then transmitted to be displayed on an
unknown browser that operates on an unknown operating system?

My suggestion is that a user types the xorg.conf information into xorg.conf
manually. its only a few lines, and alleviates any issue with correct type
settings.
