Great.

Note that this may not be the best indicator of error for every 
situation.  For an external resource (like a missing image), you might 
put up a missing-image icon; for a problem in progressive rendering, you 
might put up a flashing clock or an alert that content has stopped 
loading.  It's UA- and device-dependent, at this point, but giving some 
meaningful indication to the user that not everything may be as the 
author intended is the goal.
