Sorry, no. It worked just fine with major browsers (FF,IE,Opera). I know
the Chrome fans keep hyping it a lot but that's like with Internet
Explorer 3 back in the nineties, i.e. doesn't neccessarily mean high
quality. In fact, Chromium reminds me very much on IE3: it suddenly
displays the page after reloading a couple of times but then it reports
an "irresponsive page" and suggests to kill it...ROTFL. And if you
choose to wait, you can scroll with the mouse wheel but not with the
scroll bar.

Anyhow, with the mentioned fix it works as expected, to be released next
weekend or so. Thanks for reporting! That issue also explains the
slightly weird behaviour of konqueror which I also observe right now.

I will change it to 406 for now, which appears slightly more appropriate.

I don't know "the standard texts", only those from Apache defaults.
RFC2616 does not provide strict recommendations TTBOMK. And code 404
pages with custom styling are really not uncommon, maybe people just
don't see them that often in the last couple of years since browsers
only follow the pretested/prefiltered links from Google (sic).
