Summary: improve markupbase.py error reporting

Initial Comment:
This is just a minor nit, but in "_scan_name" in "markupbase.py"
if it cannot find a name token, it just reports "expected name token"
without any identifying information.  This can be easily improved
by changing the line (379) from,

        self.error("expected name token")
to,
        self.error("expected name token at '%s'" %  rawdata[declstartpos:declstartpos+20])

which will show 20 characters of text where the error occured.
Perhaps this can be changed in version 2.4?  Thanks.
