My two cents of the referenced html page.

Not placing attributes like string into an exception class only makes 
sense if the exception being thrown has
something to do with a memory starvation situation.

For a lot of exception types that I can think of this is not the case.

As an example of this std::runtime_error often has a string attribute 
and this is perfectly fine.
