  1. Cut out the everything including and follows java.lang.NullPointerException
  2. Possibly add a link to a page that helps folks debug errors.
  3. Special note, either in error itself, or in the link, that ODK Validate Errors: Invalid XPath expression []! means a calculate element without a calculation.
  4. Back-translate /FormName/groupname/nodename to ${nodename} in the error message so people can find it easier?
