Well I came across this while fixing the error messages for the otests which I'm running through at the moment. I'm actually just asking that we be consistent. As it happens I think there is some value in referencing back into the specs as it gives the user a chance to see why the particular error they are dealing with was defined. This will not be the case for all errors of course. Just for those arriving out of compliance statements. Of the top of my had I don't know what other frameworks do. A quick glance at a couple didn't show them using spec references. However that doesn't mean other frameworks don't. I think we should make our own minds up. Regards Simon
