   I don't think it should issue an error, but it should prompt the
   user.  This is similar to how message-mode prompts if you mess up
   the mail headers, like having a bogus email address in the To:
   header.

I think user interactive promopts should be keep to a minimum.  Maybe
one could use font-lock, and just mark it visually.
