Actually, I think they go into the "bug reports queue", then Dave Hyatt
(http://www.mozillazine.org/weblogs/hyatt/archives/cat_safari.html) decides
if it's a bug in the rendering engine or in the site, and if it's a bug in
the site, he refuses to change the rendering engine and only *then* does
Steve Jobs go over and beat them with a stick.
