Notes

Partial support refers to missing the default styling, as technically the elements are considered "unknown". This is easily taken care of by manually setting the default display value for each tag.
Partial support refers to only the <main> element (added later to the spec) being "unknown", though it can still be used and styled.

Bugs

While the time and data elements can be used and work fine in all browsers, currently only Firefox and Edge 14+ recognize them officially as HTMLTimeElement and HTMLDataElement objects.
