I have given this some more thought, and this is what I propose:
-------------------------
The 'notice' element contains an informational notice, an error message,
or a warning.
Attributes:
'type' -- takes one of three values:
'notice' (the default): An informational notice.
'warning': A warning.
'error': An error message.
Examples:
<notice type="warning">Are you sure you want to delete the file?</notice>
<notice type="error">The file could not be deleted.</notice>
<notice type="notice">The file has been deleted.</notice>
Visual user agents could render <notice type="notice"> with a green
background and <notice type="error"> and <notice type="warning"> with a
red background, and/or they could display an icon next to the notice (on
the Windows platform, an "I" sign, an exclamation mark, and a red circle
with a white X in it is typically used for these types of messages).
-------------------------
What do you think?
