I agree that Zope's error handling pages should work as John has
described in his message.

However, I've found that the following as /standard_error_message seems
to meet Chris' original requirement of overriding error methods in
folders in the heirarchy.

This is the root /standard_error_message
--------
<dtml-try>
<dtml-var "_.render(REQUEST.resolve_url(URL+'/std_error_message'))">
<dtml-except>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Standard error message</h1>
</body>
</html>
</dtml-try>
--------

Custom error messages go in std_error_message in each folder.
When an error occurs, it is handled by the nearest std_error_message up
the heirarchy.

I haven't tested it for errors in std_error_message yet.

If this works for you, I'll make it into a HowTo.
