- AWeb is faster than Amiga Lynx. That's sort of boggling. Part of it

- According to the documentation, AWeb supports HTML 2.0 (and only HTML
- 2.0). For those who don't know what that means, HTML 2.0 is the state
- of the web as of 2 years ago. I.e. - AWeb supports the HTML that
- AMosaic supported, plus some odds and ends from other browsers of that
- era.
-
- That means no tables. AWeb does translate table-row endings into line
- breaks, so they come out sane if they are done sane.

- Backgrounds aren't an HTML 2.0 feature, and so aren't supported.
