Sure. I don't think we can handle every possible case with zero
configuration. But the point is to try very hard to handle as much of
it as possible.

I'm not saying that because IE does it it's a good idea, but rather it
is a good idea that IE happens to do. The error page is a lot less
intrusive than a dialog (even if we fixed the bug where a "host not
found" dialog blocks the entire browser mainloop, it's still nicer to
have an error in the place of origin), and is able to provide a lot more
information.

Sure, but see above.
