The 'notes' say: 
The parameter "Supported data formats" refers to the information that
the web client can be add without use a map server.

Of course, this isn't entirely clear to me, since OpenLayers is listed
as suppoting ka-Map, which is clearly a map server. I also don't think
that ka-Map has support for shapefiles in the browser, and don't know 
any other relevant description other than what it supports in the
browser, if we're talking about 'wihtout a server'.

"MapServer", not "Mapserver".
