I don't understand what you are trying to say.
The RFC was for perl core messages, so I can't see what a user
level error has to do with this.
Issuing a unique error id for non-core modules will be a nightmare.
And I don't think we want to start up a IANA.
The $@->facility, $@->id pair could be considered unique for non-core
errors.
