I'm not sure what the preffered solution is, but at the moment I see 3:
- Include the errormessage in the xml inside an <error> tag or
something (so tools reading the xml format can display the error
without having to read stderr),
- Close the tag just opened to make the xml valid, and have the tools
that need error message read stderr
- Not open the tag in the first place.
I think in the end the <error> solution is best, but please comment
on this :)
