I'll verify it for you: it does indeed support style
sheets with CSS1 notation (not all of it, I hear--
but I tested the basic stuff).

It does not support PNG, and worse, it sends an
Accept header with only "*/*", so content-negotiated
images like those on W3's own site aren't displayed,
even though GIFs are available.

It does not support Java.  "Summer" they say.

It does support JavaScript, <frameset>, and MS's
own weird stuff like VBScript and ActiveX.
