Timing belt impending failure

Not sure about everyone else but I inspect my timing belt every so often... Besides finding all kinds of stuff I don't want to fix, I noticed some frayed strands and a crack in my timing belt. I've attached a picture... is this as close as it gets without breaking?I checked out my old timing belt and it seems like this is a production joint and my old belt had a crack running under the tooth. My old old timing belt also had a weak tooth that I removed by hand!

Is this perhaps the weak point of all timing belts? or normal to show a bit of wear here.
