I think everyone who uses PHP, JavaScript, a.s.o. knows, that at some point the user makes something wrong and you want to throw an error ("Your email's not valid (MX-Record not set.)") or an information ("You have logged in successfully.").

Know I do this using <div id="error"> or <div id="info"> analogically.

As errors or other direct responses to user interaction are not the same as some different text, I think there should be a possibility to mark them up appropriately.

I first searched in the Spec for some existing elements for output, but only found <samp> which is for sample output only.

I don't quite know which element name to use best, maybe:

<output>
<output error> / <output info(rmation)>
<output type="error"> / <output type="info(rmation)">
(The question is, what is <output>, error or info?)

What do you think?
