I'm pretty sure 404s are handled by standard_error_message already.
Authentication Errors aren't! :-(

There should be a collector issue on this somewhere. Apparently it is
possible for _all_ errors to be handled by standard_error_message.
Sadly, some are still hardcoded to use the internal one, Authentication
being a good example. 

Some coding needs to be done by someone who understands the intricacies.
I wonder if there are any plans at DC or if this one has been shelved?

cheers,

PS: This would be very nice for the PTK: Give people a nice screen
saying 'we can mail your password to you' if they get it wrong, rather
than barfing the standard "Zope Error" message...
