I don't remember them - I tried several week ago on a box that had only 
MS.NET 1.0 installed and it failed to compile the ASPX. Since then the 
box was upgraded to MS.NET 1.1 :-( so I can't actually reproduce it 
right now.
If you happen to have a MS.NET 1.0 only box it'll show up right away if 
you try running the xsp for example.
