I had to assume during the design that it would work to get the user to
name the error statement (ie "Invalid request") in a mutual language
between them and the helpdesk. Note that the page code ERR_INVALID_REQ
and the bold error name "Invalid Request" are fixed pairs. If you find a
translation where the bold text is mismatching we would like to know and
fix that.
I'm a bit doubtful that colour coding will work. There being more error
pages than available distinct colours. I'm interested in how you get
along with this.
Any ideas about how to securely tag the page in a visible way that does
not annoy the users. I'm all ears.

Sure. Added. It will be in the daily langpack from tomorrow and in
upcoming releases.
