Tim Williams updated FOR-554:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: for-554-workaround.patch

This is the patch for the workaround as described:

The majority of resources.xmap was okay since ImageReaders seem to give the proper error.

> When tabs, site, and resources were made resolvable through locationmap, everything was placed in a "when-exists" test.  That means instead of getting a meaningful error like "The system cannot find the specified file." it goes straight to the transformer code and fails because no generator exists.  An "otherwise" should have been used so that it will fail back at the generator section and report a "good" error.
