Comment (by MichaelPeppers):

 Replying to [comment:2 leavengood]:
 > That is funny that you mention this because I have already been thinking
 about it and found the page you linked to myself last week. I even started
 building an HTML page to use for the errors with the haiku error in it.
 The only thing that I need to do is figure out how to load this error page
 when an error occurs, with maybe some fallback in case for some reason
 loading the error page causes errors too. I also think that some of the
 haiku error messages fit better with different errors and I need to match
 them up maybe. Though I'm not sure how detailed the errors from WebKit
 are.

 That's great, keep up the good work! =)

 Anyway, there is another issue that will have to be addressed sooner or
 later: localization of the error page. Since translating haikus while
 retaining both the meanings to a comprehensible state and the poetic
 pattern (5-7-5) sounds like one massive task, very unlikely to be
 completed in acceptable times, I thought that we could bypass the issue by
 using the un-localized haiku message followed by a localized "normal"
 error message below it, while providing a way to disable either of them in
 the settings.

 What do you think about it?
