As for the inference errors: they are bad, but they generally point
you around the code at fault as they did here, if you go by the error
line #s and look around. You'll get intuition for the actual errors
(in all their verbosity) as you keep going forward. The compiler does
tricky things for its unification algorithm to work in the presence of
the powerful Ur type system, so sometimes the inferred types can seem
confusing as an example.

I just want to add that I think the messages below are just fine! :) You have to understand the Ur type system to use Ur/Web, and the first error message explains the problem quite directly. The following error messages wind up being fairly nonsensical, because the first error injects an ill-kinded constructor.

It is my intention that the official Ur/Web tutorial:
    http://www.impredicative.com/ur/tutorial/
explains all the context needed to understand these error messages. If that's not the case, specific suggestions will be appreciated!

I've tried xml, body, and xhtml. Is there some other type I can try? If I 
simply define sidebar inside template, the project will compile and run 
correctly.

The source is available here if it's helpful:

Here's the full error message:
