That attitude should probably be moderated when interactive applications 
are involved.  It means that users will have to wait for an arbitrary 
number of timeouts before the browser can give them an error message.

The requirement is stated as a SHOULD, not a MUST. This gives latitude 
to the application designer to trade off reliability and usability.
