I hate to break it to you but I did a quick file diff and the XSS
stuff is pretty easy to spot. Any attacker who wants to find the
vulnerability will, quickly. Not giving out information really only
harms the people that actually benefit from knowing (e.g. your users
and vendors, it's just one more thing to figure out).
