We are talking about 'hg serve', which IMHO is a normal user command 
that any mercurial user should be able to use to share his repo 
quickly'n'not-too-dirty. So we can't expect the user to be skilled in 
the black art of operating servers. (Apparently Mercurial is being used 
by translators and artists too, so we can't even expect the user to be a 
CS kind of person...)

But in this specific case I think it is fine that the user is shown some 
mumbojumbo which is 100% correct even though he might not understand it, 
as long as he also is shown something which he probably understands and 
which probably works.
