Maybe that is correct for the code you are writing, but I have seen
plenty of other code where the problem is in the external code.

The main problem is of course how to handle this. What about using
unit tests? When I take time to write them for nXhtml I think they
helps a lot. (But I am mostly not fighting problems with getting it to
fit with changes in Emacs. I am fighting my own mistakes. And mistakes
in external libraries.)
