Turns out that ReceivedMessage::DeliveryDetails::error provides more specific error messages than ReceivedMessage::DeliveryDetails::dbusError Hence, the error messages in ChannelTextSendError must be included in the list of error strings in the telepathy-spec so that ReceivedMessage::DeliveryDetails::dbusError provides specific error messages
Adjusting summary a bit. The general principle is that whenever we emit an (enum member, string error name) pair, the string error name is meant to be at least as specific as the enum member. In this case, we can't (always) do that, because, for instance, there is no D-Bus error name that corresponds to "message too long": 20:13 < shadeslayer> It's just that ReceivedMessage::DeliveryDetail::error is giving me ChannelTextSendErrorTooLong whereas ReceivedMessage::DeliveryDetails::dbusError gives me org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Error.InvalidArgument for the exact same error
patches welcome, but not a spec 1.0 blocker
