-There are 11 component themes, all subthemes of Zen 5 with all HTML 5 specific elements replaced for HTML 4.01 compatibility, with one exception that aims below HTML 4.01.
+The original version of Coriolis has 11 component themes, all subthemes of Zen.
 ===CSS2 Desktop===
-In many ways the reference, this is a very common default destination for every mystery browser known to handle at least CSS1.  It uses a floated DIV layout and supports many CSS3 decorations.  Its main problems are the ones inherent in a float-based layout.  It is also the destination for MSIE 9 and versions of Opera below 12.10 which can't do flexbox but are otherwise CSS3 level.  The spotlight column will not appear on any actual CSS1 or CSS2 level browser.

-Like most of the other themes, there are duplicate DIVs for the menus and the spotlight.  Only one is visible at a time, and only a browser with CSS3 level @wedia support can switch between the two.

+Originally a minor variant of CSS2 Desktop, this was modified to take advantage of CSS3's flexbox structuring.  This will naturally break in any browser that can't support one of the forms of flexbox it uses, which is why only confirmed to be compatible browsers should be sent to it.

 ===MSIE 6===
-The unpopular MSIE 6, typically used by people under the thumbs of BOFHs, preventers of information services, and pointy-haired school boards, this has a table layout and GIFs on its template graphics.  As MSIE 5.5 is almost indistinguishable from 6, it comes along for the ride despite being a museum piece.  It benefits from work on filters that it wouldn't have developed for it if it was the only browser that needed Micorosoft's proprietary CSS3 decoration implementation that dates to MSIE 4.

 ===HTML 3.2===
-One of the oubilettes, this one only recieves things deliberately sent to it.  Hence, it is the least feature-capable of the comonent themes.  The most popular (ond only current) browser that gets sent its way is Dillo, which is the default browser bundled with some Linux distributions.  It is also the destination of MSIE 3 through 5.0, Netscape 3, and the dreaded Netscape 4.  It has no stylesheets at all and only includes carefully targeted CSS statements directed at MSIE and Netscape 4.  This is also the most visually distinct theme, as it has a 'bookmark' on the left and a light gray background instead of the full image background.

 ===Dropoff===
-This is structurally CSS2 Desktop with the redundant element ripped out, as soveral things sent here never heard of CSS.  Only browsers sent here by mistake that can understand @media at a CSS2 level can unlock the CSS decorations and structure.  It does not use coriolis-defaults.css or coriolis-contentbox.css.  Its pneumonic image for the admin theme menu is logo for NCSA Mosaic, the web browser that first popularized the web.
+This is structurally CSS2 Desktop with the redundant element ripped out, as several things sent here never heard of CSS.  Only browsers sent here by mistake that can understand @media at a CSS2 level can unlock the CSS decorations and structure.  It does not use coriolis-defaults.css or coriolis-contentbox.css.  Its pneumonic image for the admin theme menu is logo for NCSA Mosaic, the web browser that first popularized the web.  In actual use, unidentified top-end browsers have consistently ended up here, which is why handling for these situations is being done differently in Coriolis 1.1
 ===Dropoff Mobile===
-A single-colum version of Dropoff, it also lacks the redundant sections needed to reconfigure itself.  This may only recieve browsers that Mobile_Detect recognizes that Browscap doesn't.  Its pneumonic image for the admin theme menu is the logo of the organization that created PocketWeb, the earliest known mobile web browser.
