Well they're not all programming errors, so I guess asserting is incorrect behavior. How can we avoid dropping this information on the floor for WK Devs? My first reaction is a log message to STDERR (on debug builds only, of course), but right now WebKit is graciously quiet there, and I wouldn't really want to start us down the slippery slope of noise. Suggestions?
