limited TASM support in WASM (Developers)

It should be mentioned that the TASM support is limited. Many TASM sources probably won't assemble without errors.

So WASM is now partially Masm v5, partially Masm v6 and partially Tasm (IDEAL) compatible, and additionally has some features which are unique.

Big problem: it isn't documented which Masm/Tasm feature is implemented and which isn't. Even more, Wasm often silently accepts a syntax which it doesn't really understand, so you can't be sure that everything is fine when your source was compiled without errors.
