+<!-- Microsoft Internet Exploder has this stupid "feature" that if an
+error message is shorter than 512 bytes then Microsoft decides that the
+user is better off with the error message being dropped and instead
+replaced with the error message for the same error code internal to the
+browser. So to make a short story long, the reason for writing all this
+noise in a comment that is not even meant to be shown to the end user is
+to make sure what we *want* to show is shown to everybody including the
+unfortunate ones using a browser made by Microsoft. Read more here:
