What's up with 5.5? >Your program produces output to be read by another (eg: a browser) This is a problem?

  > Your program produces output to be read by another (eg: a browser), or implements a network protocol, and relies on the other party's software to be significantly tolerant to spec violations The problem isn't producing output for another program, but relying on that other problem to catch your mistakes

    Ah. I parsed that sentence incorrectly. I read it like this: > Your program produces output to be read by another (eg: a browser), or (implements a network protocol, and relies on the other party's software to be significantly tolerant to spec violations) instead of like this: > (Your program produces output to be read by another (eg: a browser), or implements a network protocol), and relies on the other party's software to be significantly tolerant to spec violations
