This looks like one where I can't pick up on the needed context just from
the section in question. The intent of the 'Status' field still seems
unclear: this text seems to suggest that it's a sort of "fallback" error
code to use if the request to perform an action is ignored. But that
doesn't make much sense if I also look at the text about:
Two Request-Action TLVs MUST NOT occur in the same TEAP
packet if they have the same Status value. [...]
Why am I not allowed to have two requests that would get the same treatment
if the request was ignored?
Thanks for helping me understand,
Ben
