What I meant by highly structured is that you wouldn't pass a string at
all. There would just be an error code and whatever information went
along with that error code. It would be up to the client to decide how
to present a message to the user.
From a usability perspective, this is better both for localization but
also to ensure a consistent user experience with respect to how errors
are described to a user.
Basically, I think the conventional wisdom in UI design is that you
never want to pass error messages from a server directly to a user.
