I agree with Dan in that registrars are always well-advised to improve
their level of quality control (as is everyone), but I believe firmly
that the availibility of an optional tag such as this is going to help
that process immensely.  In view of someone who operates a registry, I
believe we could do a much better job of helping the registrars be
successful with this option.  At the end of the day we are here to help
registrars regardless; it would only make it faster and easier for
everyone if we can feed them more meaningful information on their errors
in the first place.

Is all this extra information really needed?  Registrars should be 
validating as much information as possible before sending to the 
registry.  This would weed out 95% of problem data.  To now add reasons 
to values makes the registry hold the registrar's hand where the 
registrar should be smarter than your average registrant.  All of this 
user-friendliness also adds more development burden on the registry.
