Our initial idea is to store XML representing the error message in the
request context. The XSP page (we actually have a single template XSP page
which "aggregates" different streams of XML information e.g. menu, content,
and error messages etc) reads this XML and it is then up to the XSL to
display (if it exists) this error information as it sees fit.
