I can't tell you what Palm intends to do with the Internet library long term (I've read the same thing in the manual which you have). But I can tell you that it's good enough to do HTTP. However, regardless of what the library is capable of, the system as a whole does not currently support functionality other than HTTP and messenging (for the iMessenger client).
See if you can get a copy of the otaRead demo - it shows how to program the Internet Library in C.

Subject: Palm VII and the Internet Library??
I am considering developing a prc that communicates to servers
using the Internet Library. This library supports the palm VII, and
also has calls to do what look like direct tcp communications.
My concern however, is that there is a note in the chapter which says
there may be no future support for the library.
Is this true?
Does this mean the only capability of the palm VII is to implement
PQA (HTML) applications, and it can't do tcp communications or even
http from C?
Any information would be GREATLY appriciated.
Thanks!
Scott Szretter
