Going from memory, in one of the first few chapters they say something along
the lines that its the small bits - attention to detail - just finishing off
the product that little bit better - adds up to something that makes a big
improvment as a whole. So far I'd have to agree and I think we have been
guilty of not quite finishing things off well as we could - take errors as
an example - how many users get really frustrated becuase they get some
obscure message that makes no sense? Anyway the example they used to
demonstrate this was v.poor (<bean:message> can only take 4 args) - I was
tempted to pop in a new <bean:arg> tag  -  it would suited my perverse sense
of humour to make the book out of date ;-) Even though the example was poor
though I do agree with the overall point.
