Right. Again, that's pretty much what I described as option 1. My  
issue is that if I'm already indicating that an error ocurred by  
adding a result to the event, wouldn't it be nice if I could use that  
same metadata later in my view, rather than having to add yet another  
value into my event? It just seems like unnecessary duplication.
