Being concerned about them is valid; however, I think the concern is misplaced at this stage. + +*For an independent engine,* I'm more interested in simple "web documents". Those need to work well before tackling "Web 2.0" territory. Specifically: articles progressively enhanced with images, stylesheets, and maybe a script or two. Understanding how well Web 2.0 sites render isn't really useful to me without first understanding how well documents render. + +When testing my site, my main pain points are: a lack of support for `
`, misplaced `
` elements, my SVG profile photo not rendering (it renders when I open it in a new tab), and occasional overlapping text. The only non-mainstream independent engine I know of that supports `
` is Servo.
