I get values. I did a test of a Revlet running locally on OS X and 
WinXP, and remotely on OS X from my web site. Here are the values I got 
back (some are empty, but not the ones you list.) For revlets run from a 
remote server, note that the systemversion and platform are the one 
that's running the revlet, not the server it came from.

Hope this doesn't wrap too badly.
