I don't think this would work.
But if it did, it's place wouldn't be inside the language. Either in an IDE or
in a PHP-application. PHP often is used for skinning a website, btw.

But if there were a good idiot-proof IDE, it would definately help these
people. It would have to be free (beer), of course. People who spend 2,50€ a
month on webspace won't spend a fortune on an IDE.
On the other hand, you lose a lot of flexibility this way. At some point,
people will have to touch the code. And there should be as few obstacles as
possible.

You'd have to put a href in every single error-message. Ugly.
Either this, or people won't find it.
