Summary Application cache silently ignores manifest parse errors

When WebCore::ManifestParser (WebCore/loader/appcache/ManifestParser.cpp) encounters an abberation, it simply skips it without reporting anything. This can make it difficult to understand and debug issues with manifests.

How the system should behave given 'bad input' is a matter of spec compliance, its explicit about skipping lines that the parser doesn't like. But there could be some script console output associated with questionable input w/o altering the behavior otherwise. Or maybe some inspector support for highlighting skipped lines.

Right, I'm fine with the behavior w.r.t. the actual parse. My request for diagnostic information for development purposes. Web Inspector definitely seems like the better component fit :)
