<div>"Fail safely" gets redirected to a page with the heading "Fail Securely" (but <br />
still named "Fail_safely"). It seems someone thought "Fail Securely" is a better<br />
phrase for the principle than "Fail safely", but the change needs to be propagated<br />
to this page (and possibly on other pages).<br />
<br />
I'd fix it myself but there is no page named "Fail_securely" and I don't want<br />
to make a mess of things for others -- I'm just visiting this site for the<br />
first time and don't have a feel yet for how it's being setup and maintained - <br />
I don't want to ruffle any feathers, but am trying to help...<br />

<div>I'm visiting OWASP for the first time. This comment may apply throughout the site, but<br />
this is the first instance I've seen. My suggestion:<br />
<br />
Clearly and systematically distinguish counter-examples (ie, examples that demonstrate<br />
the insecure way of doing things) from good examples. For example, counter-examples<br />
could have a different background color, or at a minimum an obvious comment within the<br />
sample itself stating that this is the WRONG WAY TO DO IT! I don't think it's as <br />
effective to rely on the surrounding text to clearly identify good from bad examples.<br />
<br />
It's not that I think the visitors to this site will generally be idiots, but I think<br />
it greatly improves readability and decreases the likelihood of misunderstanding...<br />
especially if, as the site grows, an article might provide a number of examples of <br />
both the wrong and right way to do things, or if the examples get more lengthy.<br />
