Both or neither. The TAL programmer is "at least" a web programmer, but may
be the Zope programmer too. I think we are defining an exception facility
that doesn't specify or catch differing types. We are predefining one
particular (broad) type of exception: 'error'.

Me, I like 'on-error', and we can explain it as our 'exception' based error
handling facility for TAL. 'On-exception', perhaps,  implies too much (which
isn't there).
