I'm starting to look at updating the docs to match 7.4 error message spellings. I find that a large part of the work I'll have to do is in updating the "Diagnostics" (formerly "Outputs") section of the command reference pages. I am wondering if it wouldn't be better to just rip out these sections entirely. They seem like nearly content-free fluff to me --- the listings of possible error messages are always incomplete, often out of date, and arguably useless. If there is an error message that's not clear enough by itself, we'd better fix the error message instead of putting a gloss on it in the reference page.
