The importance of error handling goes up dramatically as the number of participants in a space increases. When one is writing private software where you write the server and the client, one is unlikely to run into any problems that one would attribute to the specs. When one is writing software with a few hundred participants, these kinds of errors occur, but it's trivial to deal with them by telling the offending people to follow the spec. When one is dealing with trillions of items, it becomes impossible to fix the problems, and error-handling becomes necessary. The Web is a classic example of the latter, so browser vendors and authors of software that interacts with the Web, e.g. Web search engine software (GoogleBot), Web mirroring software (wget), etc, often run into it. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
