That's not entirely true. Display lists can't include (Red Book, page 127):

glDeleteLists()
glFeedbackBuffer()
glFinish()
glFlush()
glGenLists()
glGet*()
glIsEnabled()
glIsList()
glPixelStore()
glReadPixels()
glRenderMode()
glSelectBuffer()



True. I was overgeneralizing a bit, for the sake of clarity. Note that none of those are really the sort of thing you'd want to do in a display list.
