That's not entirely true, we do update it to add the ecmaversion entry to some
browsers.

I have committed today a fix that provides defaults for the browser caps if
they are missing from the definition or browsercaps.ini is broken/missing. Even
if Microsoft .NET throws an exception in that case, I don't like the behavior
as it is completely unjustified imho. If you want Mono to still throw the
exception in case caps are missing, we can add an environment variable that
will turn the MS.NET behavior on.
