well, as the vendor, i'm one of the two parties who determines 
'fault'...

if i write bad code and i spend a day figuring out that i wrote bad 
code cuz it won't work in a browser, i eat that time...

if i'm doing something brand new for the client (like a Java ticker) 
that i haven't done before, then all that time is billable... but that 
was covered up-front in the scope and the quote...

if it's somewhere in between, it depends on the client... sometimes 
i write it off, other times i bill it, other times i go halfsies, 
sometimes i pretend i'm eating a junior mint and skiing down the 
slopes of the alps... sometimes i feel like a nut... sometimes i 
don't...
