EDE codes themselves take very little space, so truncating just the
textual messages might be a good middle-ground.... but I certainly
haven't tried thinking of all implications on EDE truncation yet. 
Communicating these through bit(s) in EDE or EDNS flags might be nice,
and clients might even use them to set their preference.

Still, ATM I can't clearly see whether such TC details would be useful
in practice.  I think we're fortunate that most use cases for EDE are
failures... so the answer will probably be tiny.
