I think a cleaner approach would be to extend <delay/> with an optional
<reason/> element, which has an attribute whose value is defined by an
registry established in xep203.

There are multiple namespaces of SM, CSI and potentially other existing
and future delay causing XEPs. Having the indirection via an registry
avoids the confusion and complexity when processing <delay/> elements.

I'd made it entirely optional though recommended.
