This is especially nice when using an FTP/WebDAV tool.  You can keep saving
and saving and saving, with errors, and then get a report from the ZMI.
While saving with errors may sound wrong to some, remember that you can save
ASP pages with all the errors you want, there's nothing that's going to
check them until compile/execution time.

And, it's MUCH better than the cryptic FTP save errors one gets when
forgetting to close a <dtml-if>, or using <dtml-and> outside of a
<dtml-sqlgroup>.
