Perhaps instead of reason text we have generic enumeration of close
reasons like we have now, but in addition to that we have 32-bit
vendor specific reason code. The vendors could then use that vendor
specific code field to put in some internal error code or something,
and perhaps even provide a list of them in some documentation
somewhere simiarly like microsoft tells you that error 0x5123513
occurred, and then you google that up, and find microsoft support page
about that error, or lots of people asking what the hell that code
is...
