But do keep RFC 3416 section 4.2.4 in mind.  There are cases where
command responders are doing things that are proxy in the classic sense,
but not in the RFC 2576 sense, and will not necessarily be able to make
the fine-grained distinctions.  One case that's probably more wide-spread
than anyone would like is access via underlying RFC 1227 machinery.  These
will generate noSuchName errors when the modern codes would be better.
