Restrict custom aspect to specific mimetype or cm:content type

Is there a way to restrict a custom aspect to only being applied to a node of type cm:content, or better to a specific mimetype ?It would be great if this could be specified directly in the mycustom-model.xml.

you could add a policy that prevents the aspect being added to unwanted types or mimetypes. There's nothing in the model that will prevent aspects being added.

From the "policy" point of view, what's the best practice for preventing the aspect from being added to unwanted situation ?

Actually, I am just throwing an error on relevant policy methods onAddAspect, onBefore.. etc. This is preventing the aspect from being added, but the user is getting a standard message. So, the questions in detail:

I mean:

<ul>
<li>Are there any alternatives other than throwing a runtime error in policy method ?</li>
<li>If not, I am completely missing how can I customize the error message</li>
</ul>
