The error level Informational should be renamed to information or info. There's no Informational error level, at least in org.apache.tools.ant.types.LogLevel or org.apache.log4j.Level.

I meant DITA-OT error messages.

The severity levels used here are apparently based on the standard syslog severity levels as defined by RFC 5424, which explicitly include Informational, so it's not really wrong.

That level is commonly abbreviated as INFO in Log4j and elsewhere, and the abbreviated form may be more intuitively understandable to non-native readers, so it's probably still worth clarifying.
