Yes; this is why I said "if you _have_ to return a structured string" (emphasis 
added this time around). You should always be able to get a plaintext message 
from an error for logging, which is why it'd be best not to have _any_ markup 
in it at all - and html is a bad way to go if you need markup. And most of the 
time you're not going to want to display db and other PEAR library errors 
directly to the user - you want to log them somewhere or email them to someone, 
etc. So markup should always be added later.
