Ok. I think it's a little unfortunate for our users that we can't
match error messages but you are probably correct about them being
copyright.
So, the second issue, should we be checking for messages/descriptions
in exception
tests, even to match what Harmony throws? If we do then our api tests
wont pass on other implementations.

Mark.
