I guess the best reference will be the WMS spec document itself, for the 
version of WMS that you are implementing. The spec docs are available at 
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms

If you look at the WMS 1.1.1 doc from that list, section 6.7 discusses 
service exceptions and Annex A contains the XML exception DTD as well as 
an exception example.
