I actually recall rewriting this message a while ago... ah, here it is:
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/share/templates/en_US/ 
error_messages.cfg.diff?r1=1.17&r2=1.18&f=h

(the revised message will be in the imminent beta... I'm just waiting  
for a green light on one logistical issue)

I think this new message is clearer, simpler and more useful than the  
old. Certainly still not perfect. Your suggested message is good,  
too, I think I'd like to merge the two, e.g at least add the link and  
call the "/" character "slash".

Would you like to give a go at drafting a merged version, or should I?
