i remember brining this error reporting question up a while ago .... 

http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200212/msg00323.html 
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200212/msg00642.html 

A quick google search of the archives (the xml-dev search engine being broken,
unfortunately), yielded the preceding and following postentially interesting posts:

http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200305/msg00841.html
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200012/msg00353.html 

... and related follow-ups (and pre-follow-ups -- I might have caught some of
these in the middle).

Hope this is helpful --
