I have change my mind on this ... mostly to do with implementation limitation; e.g. an informal survey of popular computing language error mechanisms shows that there is an incredible variability in error output format ... as well as limited control either as a constraint imposed by language designers or differences as imagined by language processor/compiler implementators. oddly formated plaintext error output has always interfered in making unit testing reports nicer ... also I would have thought that a standard standard error output XML vocabulary would be a no brainer in software development, anyone know of anything with any traction out there? cheers, Jim FullerReceived on Thursday, 21 February 2008 13:22:45 GMT
