#3Crashes tab in IE9 9.0.7 Win7 x64. That's it. The rest of the browser is fine.

#4I think the most shocking thing is when you follow it through to the MSDN bug discussion—and you find people blaming the author for writing invalid HTML.
Apparently IE doesn’t need to follow the robustness principle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle

I agree, it's unbelievable. End users don't care about incorrect markup, they care about their browser hanging.

#7Is this a big deal? It's amusing that it is such a simple chunk of HTML, but I was under the impression that it's not terribly difficult to DoS the average browser.
I accidentally discovered some very simple HTML that reliably crashes Outlook whenever you try to view or preview the message a while back. I reported it and I think they eventually fixed it.

I agree. There is no combination of text that should cause a browser to crash. Why the people in the discussion were blaming the HTML markup is beyond me.

Would love to know too, can't have been as ironic as the bug.
