You might be interested in the following paper by Philippe Charles: An
LR(k) Error Diagnosis and Recovery Method. He describes a very
satisfactory method of error recovery, purely based on the grammar.

The paper can be found in the proceedings of the 2nd international
workshop on parsing technologies, Cancun, Mexico, February 1991,
Association for Computational Linguistics.
