Thanks for the replies folks.  I finally found it.  I had unknowingly picked up a <acceptencodings=""> in a dataset tag, no doubt from the editor auto-completion.  I'm using Eclipse with Spket, and when inside the tag, if you hit <ctrl-space>, the first item in the suggestion list is acceptencodings. 

So, the question is, can we get the compiler to detect invalid values?     Is this worthy of filing a bug/improvement?

I most often see this when you set a type="boolean" and don't set a value.

If that's not it, you literally are looking for incomplete syntax in a constraint.  The best bet here is usually to do a diff with your local history to see what you may have changed.  I use Eclipse and this is a simple task.

Of course the fault for the error lies entirely with me.  However, I must say, the following type of compiler error is about extremely unhelpful.  

    Syntax error: the attribute value ended in mid-_expression_.
    Look for an unclosed '(', '{', or '['.



Would there be any way to give some more information to narrow the scope for the user?
