What Keith said. I think this may be one of these things you could say architecturally... along the lines of "future specifications MUST NOT specify a default behavior of silent error/recovery fixup, and SHOULD ensure that information about errors is routed to the parties who (a) caused the error to occur, and (b) have the capability of correcting the situation noting that (a) and (b) may not be the same." I think I'm beginning to believe there is a tractable architectural issue here. -Tim
