Some details regarding browser support:  Opera 9 is supported by the
current release of Nevow.Athena; also, there is a patch awaiting review
that will make Opera as fast, or faster, than any other supported browser
for the most common DOM operations that Nevow.Athena performs.

IE is fully supported too, although it doesn't get tested as thoroughly
as Firefox.

Safari is not supported, although it can be as soon as Apple pushes a
release that includes a sufficiently updated version of WebKit.  I have
already done some preliminary hacking on my local runtime.js to enable
Safari support, and with the right WebKit, it will work.  Whenever the
correct WebKit version gets folded into a Safari release, I'll see about
providing a decent patch for Nevow.Athena.

Hope this helps,
