Well, as I said to Michael just now, I think we should turn it into one
now that we're disallowing it in tables, because "cannot be used as a
table column" is more or less the definition of a pseudotype. In any
case, the average user probably thinks UNKNOWN is a pseudotype, if they
think about it at all. So I think this message is fine even if we left
it as-is.
