+    XMPP stanzas of type 'error' should include an <error> stanza that
+    describes the nature of the error and how it should be handled.
+
+    Use the 'XEP-0086: Error Condition Mappings' plugin to include error
+    codes used in older XMPP versions.
+
+    The stream:error stanza is used to provide more information for
+    error that occur with the underlying XML stream itself, and not
+    a particular stanza.
+
+    Note: The StreamError stanza is the same as the normal Error stanza,
+          but with a different namespace.
+
+    Example error stanza:
+        <error type="cancel" code="404">
+          <item-not-found xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas" />
+          <text xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas">
+            The item was not found.
+          </text>
+        </error>
+
+    Stanza Interface:
+        code      -- The error code used in older XMPP versions.
+        condition -- The name of the condition element.
+        text      -- Human readable description of the error.
+        type      -- Error type indicating how the error should be handled.
+
+    Attributes:
+        conditions   -- The set of allowable error condition elements.
+        condition_ns -- The namespace for the condition element.
+        types        -- A set of values indicating how the error
+                        should be treated.
+
+    Methods:
+        setup         -- Overrides ElementBase.setup.
+        get_condition -- Retrieve the name of the condition element.
+        set_condition -- Add a condition element.
+        del_condition -- Remove the condition element.
+        get_text      -- Retrieve the contents of the <text> element.
+        set_text      -- Set the contents of the <text> element.
+        del_text      -- Remove the <text> element.
