If we make the status element arbitrary, then each server will have its
own set of codes that each client will have to learn via some out of
band channel such as documentation or a support ticket, and will have to
develop business logic for handling them. By keeping this element an
enumeration we're making it much easier for clients to support this
extension.

If there are other status codes that would be useful, let's try to
generate an exhaustive list before we throw the baby out with the bath
water and make the status code an arbitrary text element.
