True. But it's way better compared to relying on exploits in parsers that
are discovered. The cc's are documented by the *maker* of the browser.
Exploits can stop working with a minor update.
Worse, if such an exploit is very popular, a browser developer might feel
obliged to keep such an exploit working, using some kind of automatic
detection system, which complicates the parser.
