IMHO it might be worth doing this. Can those who have used
experimental codepoints for messages, objects and TLV comment on the need
for them for error-types? Could this have helped you in your experiments?

If we go down in this direction, I also wonder if we should reserve some
space for error-values for each of the error-types as it is common practice
to assign new errors under the error-type!

Thanks!
