 <h2>Browser Compatibility</h2>
 <p>RLG-Web has been tested using Firefox and Chrome; there should be no problems with recent versions of these two browsers.  Safari and Opera ought to 
 work, though they haven't been tested yet.  Internet Explorer 9 is compatible, but older versions  might not be.</p>
+<h2>WebSockets</h2>
+<p>If your browser supports it, RLG-Web will connect using WebSockets.  This lets the server send data to your browser as soon as Rogue generates it, 
+instead of waiting for the browser to ask for it.  This reduces latency.</p>
+<p>The site will still work if your browser doesn't support this feature, but it will probably be annoyingly slow.</p>
 <h2>Starting Games</h2>
 <p>If you have already registered an account, you can log in.  If not, create one with the "New name" button.  Once logged in, RLG-Web will list your
 saved games and let you resume them or start new ones.</p>

 <p>Note: Super-Rogue does not work with the arrow keys or the number pad yet.</p>
 <h2>Saving Games</h2>
-<p>If you accidentally close your browser, don't worry.  If RLG-Web does not hear from you for a whole hour, it assumes you have gone away, and 
-automatically saves your game.  Your strength 18 character with the two-handed sword on level 22 is safe from bugs.  But the dragons are sure to get him.</p>

 <h2>Accounts and Passwords</h2>
 <p>rlgallery.org doesn't use https yet, so you should not assume your password is safe.  Don't use the same one you use on your bank's website, etc.</p>
 <p>You don't have to supply a valid e-mail address.  It will only be used if you ask to have your password reset.</p>
