I was under the impression that some similarity with XPath error code 
formats <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/#errors> was suggested, which uses 
a 4 character/ 4 number system. In EXPath, the file: and the sql: 
modules uses that (though sql: isn't entirely consistent), albeit not 
encoding program/phase in the 4 characters. crypto: and http-client: use 
short codes. No others appear at first glance to have progressed to 
error definition stages.

So, in defence, EXPath doesn't actually demonstrate consistency in the 
matter...... ;-)
