RE: Some More Off-List Comments

["Lynette Khirallah" <lynettek@netnumber.com>]

is there already a <msg> element in the <result> that is being used for
human-readable error condition explanations? I just checked the latest
contact draft and there is a <msg> element in the <result>. How is this
<reason> element any different from <msg>?
If you do add another text element, can it be optional?

thanks,
Lynette
