While helping others writing PHP, the conversation "What error message?" "There is none, look for yourself, http://..." was not rare, because the error message was hidden somewhere. Changing the default to display it in a well-formatted way would be helpful for beginners, in my - and most people i asked about this - opinion. When changing append/prepend strings, they get outputted also when html_errors is off, so putting html in them is not a good thing imo. (Also, distinct colors are not possible by doing that).
