The problem is that the options in MS machine.config for <browserCaps>
come from a company that earns money doing that. That's why we couldn't
just copy that section and implement the code to interpret that. Of
course, given our current implementation based on Gary Keith's
browscap.ini file, we can select the writer based the data we have.
