if I can contribute in anyway, I will be glad to do so. Once I get
time I will look through the available database, but I expect not
to have much to say: my main "saying" was the topic of this post,
which is to differentiate among the various TeX modes, and you have
answered that already.

I mentioned as an example LaTeX3: I expect the team there has
given some thought to error messages and I trust it will not be
needed to add any extra to what will be provided by the team
which has the inner knowledge. As we see with Knuth and Lamport,
once the messages are there, they stay for decades, Hence, I am
sure any new TeX format will come with well thought-out error
messages ...

cheers
