I like the idea a lot. It'd help a lot in development for just about
everyone. If there's an error in the parser, the khtml developers could
find out more easily, and web developers would also be able to find if
their pages are generating errors. I agree on the unobtrusive part
though, otherwise it's just an exercise in pain :-)
