Dennis,
Your message is difficult to respond to.  That is, it is unclear what you
are *really* looking for.  For example you mention "inscrutable error
messages" yet you gave no example "error messages".  Error messages, if they
are DTML related should not be "inscrutable".  Error messages relating to
"markup"  are another story.  If that is the story you are referring to then
try something silly like this:
1) View your rendered code
2) Click your browser "view source" button
3) Save the viewed source to file
4) upload it to one of the publically available HTML checkers.
If  errors you mention are markup-related, a HTML checker will catch stuff
that your specific browser may not.
