   Wow, this is terrible usability.
   
   In FF57, you're on an XHTML page, it's loading progressively, nice, then you click a link before it finished loading.
   
   *boom*
   
   Parser thinks "oh that's the whole XML then, and I guess it's all broken because you didn't close the body tag" and just renders that error message.

     ... while waiting for the linked page to load, of course. But the expected behavior would be for the partially-loaded page to remain partially loaded instead of being replaced by an error message and the flip is quite jarring.

     In Netscape Communicator, you're on an MIME article, it's loading progressively, nice, then you click an attachment before it finished loading.

     @benis All this has happened before, and will happen again.

     @benis When the PC takes over. Until the PC becomes obsolete again.

     @benis Or maybe the real answer is "when the models merge and are replaced by p2p".

     @clacke meshnet it's where it's at. Dunno the format of the future, but it's bound to be Cap'n'Proto rike. And I rike it.

     @benis I believe more in something self-describing, out-of-control, organic and horrible which somehow still manages to not entirely not work, than something which requires both ends to know the complete schema.

     @benis @clacke this reminds me of joeyh's cornbread bug in iceweasel https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=773619

     @efraim @benis That is exactly the same thing in a different context!

     @benis Wow, that page says too little and too much at the same time. I've been visiting http://about.psyc.eu/ at time, and I'd say the same about that site.
     
     There clearly is someone who believes they are onto something big, and they clearly put a lot of effort into it and are very frustrated with IRC and other IM platforms, but if you've sussed out that PSYC has a self-describing data layer, you have been far more patient than me. :-)
