Re: Fix for VLV draft.
I think it's a bad idea to overload the semantics of the 'other'
(or any other existing) result code. 'other' should only imply
some implementation specific error. IIRC, Michael previously
suggested introduction a new result code indicating that an error
occurred during control processing. I believe we should pursue
this approach.
