I'm sorry, I've reversed two changes. I've changed the error views names to underscored, and I've changed the default DEBUG to 1.

The first one is for consistency (no UppperCase filenames, please), the second is because while I'm no enemy of application security, the application has to be safe _after_ it's written, not before. And to easily write an application, the developer should have the DEBUG mode set to 1 or 2.

Other than that, I think it's a very good idea to put the tag generators in helpers :)
