+Summary: Need to add <clientTarget> section to machine.config file.
+
+Description of Problem:
+ASP.NET can render different output depending on the browser's 
+userAgent.  In MS.NET 1.0/1.1 There are standard defined aliases that can 
+be used to 'force' output for a certain browser or for uplevel/downlevel 
+browsers, such as:
+----
+<%@Page clientTarget="uplevel" %>
+----
+While MONO appears to have implemented all the required functionality, 
+the predefined aliases have not been added to the MONO machine.config 
+file and web pages using this feature throw an exception.  To fix this 
+the following node should be added to the MONO machine.config file:
+
+<clientTarget>
+  <add alias="ie5" userAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 
+NT 4.0)" />
+  <add alias="ie4" userAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; Windows 
+NT 4.0)" />
+  <add alias="uplevel" userAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.0; 
+Windows NT 4.0)" />
+  <add alias="downlevel" userAgent="Unknown" />
+</clientTarget>
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Run this testcase:
+<%@Page clientTarget="uplevel" %>
+
+Actual Results:
+Following exception is thrown:
+ClientTarget 'uplevel' is an invalid alias. See the documentation for 
+<clientTarget> config. section.
+
+Expected Results:
+Web page should load.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+All the time in Mono Beta 3.
+
+Additional Information:
+No code needs to be added to MONO, but before V1.0 we should include 
+these aliases in the MONO machine.config file.
