It isn't. I have been using ie and xsl PI for a long time to view
logfiles. Ie can get quite a long way into a logfile before it displays
an error. Wether it is a WF or encoding error. Anyway, I am sure that
people want to know when there is a problem. I have worked in places
where people use ie as a quick validator of their data. If it displays
in ie then it must be ok. Whatever way the error is flagged I don't care
I just think that it should be flagged in an obvious way.
