Also, (maybe its already there) it would be usefull for the traceback information to be
displayed in the page rather than having to view the source.... All this generic Zope
Error stuff is rather silly. At least have a bit somewhere to change the error level so
the end-user can see this mundane message that means very little (so not to confuse or
scare them too much) and allow the developer to get the full scoop on what happened or
didnt happen.
