You know the addage: something old, something new, something borrowed (this will be our more native look and feel), something blue (this will be our colour palette on vista and osx).

I was about to vote up the XML error formatting bug Jeff linked in Mark’s comments this morning*, even though I know voting in Bugzilla is useless. Apparently Dinosaur Comics is more effective than Bugzilla, so it might be better for me to start a webcomic for bugtracking. Who can draw Foxkeh?

If only all bugs were as easy to fix as tossing up what amounts to a very basic web page…
But you’re right. *Nothing* should land before all bugs more important than it are fixed.

@Lucy: I don’t agree with that and I don’t think that’s what Mark was saying. The post has a fairly deadpan feel to it.
