> From: XMLMsgCat_EN_US.Msg
>   7  An exception occurred! Type:{0}, Message:{1}
> 156  An exception occurred! Type:{0}, Message:{1}
> 284  An exception occurred! Type:{0}, Message:{1}
> 285  Unexpected end of file exception. Message: {0}
>  45  Datatype error: Type:{0}, Message:{1}.
>  46  Schema error: Type:{0}, Message:{1}
> These message are not user friendly.
> For example I got the following exception:
> An exception occurred! Type:RuntimeException, Message:The primary document entit
> y could not be opened. Id=E:\team\review\send\020901\NAG\NagMsg_DTD ( line 0, 
> char 0 )
> The first part of the exception "An exception occurred! Type:RuntimeException, 
> Message:" is absolutely informative. Better state smth like: 
> "Parsing exception: The primary document entity could not be opened..."
> So, the proposal is:
> 1. Remove all informative text, like "An exception occurred!"
> 2. Remove template words, like Type: and Message:
> 3. Provide meaningfull error message
> As an example compare the following error templates. I think that the second is 
> better.
>  46  Schema error: Type:{0}, Message:{1}
>  46  Schema error: {1}
