Started adding [[QSB|Quake Standards Base]] limits to this article, comments and arguments are [http://forums.inside3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=1953 welcome in this I3D thread]. The thread also contains my comments on each section. The standard isn't finished until the [[QSB|Quake Standards Base page]] says so, and is subject to change.
 +
 
 +
Green background means the engine passed the limit set up by the standard, thus making it compatible with that requirement. Feel free to alter the green backgrounds in case I've misinterpreted something!
