AWeb is faster than Amiga Lynx. That's sort of boggling. Part of it
may be that AWeb - do to larger fonts, smaller margins, headers, etc,
- doesn't put as much text on the screen at one time as ALynx.

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.
