I just want to say that this way of displaying information about exceptions is strange, and a stumbling block for teaching our programmers how to use Code Synthesis. It's a minor annoyance, and once a programmer learns how to catch Code Synthesis exceptions, the lesson usually sticks, but it's a lesson that I have to teach over and over and over because it's so unusual.
 
Why can't what() return the full information, as is the convention? If I want to wrap an xml_schema::exception in another exception to throw, I need to create a temporary string stream just to extract the exception message.
