Following #141 (and #142), it's been put under the light that when the library is incorrectly used, it doesn't communicate the issue in a very user friendly manner

  <html lang=\"en\">
    <head>
    <meta charset=\"utf-8\">

Rather than throwing AssertionErrors and letting Express default error handler deal with them, it might be cleaner to return 400 responses with a meaningful error message.
