How about: when someone has mistyped a link with spaces. In Netscape Communicator if it came across such a link it would show an error first in fine print abount the Apache Sever version then either a 400 error or 404 error. According to W3C standards this is correct action.
In Mozilla and Netscape 7 they automatically insert %20 where the spaces are located and thus allowing link to work. This is some what equivelent to IE's action of self-healing a site which has missing tags. Here is an example: http://www.ce.org/standards/standards_listing.asp?id=prod_cat&id2=380&name=Direct-View Analog Color TV Notice =Direct-View Analog Color TV should be written either as: =Direct-ViewAnalogColorTV or =Direct-View_Analog_Color_TV Netscape Communicator Properly dies at the first space and throws up a 400 error While in Mozilla or N7, they insert: =Direct-View%20Analog%20Color%20TV This allows the page to come up. Its self-healing. An action which has had much negative comments about IE's self healing in the Moz newsgroups as stepping around standards allowing sloppy code. Appently Mozilla bugs about are marked WONTFIX. Because even though technically it is off standards the developers like it. (Thus promoting wrong formating of webpage titles.)
