I think the ideal material we could work on would be a catalog that  
knows:

65 -> XML_ERR_SPACE_REQUIRED -> [ all the error messages (default +  
custom) used for this code]

That way I guess we could differentiate error messages and  
explanations depending on whether XML_ERR_SPACE_REQUIRED is actually a  
"attribute construct error" subcase, or "Space required after  
'SYSTEM'" etc.

That might take a bit of manual labour, but the relevant source files  
seem to be only parser.c and HTMLparser.c - so it's manageable.

Karl, are you interested in starting this?
