Re: generating error messages

["Mitch C. Amiano" <amiamc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wrote a DSSSL script intended mainly for validation purposes, 
and used James' SGML extentions for this purpose. Specifically,
my script builds a formatting-instruction. After all, if the 
only purpose of the script is to format error messages, why 
would you NOT want to use a sosofo?
