Certainly it is non-valid for any GUI. But for console TUI users it is 
valid.

Surely it could be fine if I can see both all the glyphs and all the 
colors. But because it is impossible, I chose to see colors, rather than 
all the glyphs. I need colors every day every hour, and I can ignore 
some boxes in some occasional pages I visited by lynx/elinks ...
