Please go ahead with this change. 

The other problems are a bit more frustrating, and harder to deal with!
It isn't just a question of being S::L compatible, it's also a question
of doing the right thing, since we have to be compatible with the
Java/Python libraries as well.  If S::L is wrong, then we need to push
them to change; if *we* are wrong, then we need to recognize that and
fix the message structure.

I need to do some more reading to figure out which is the case.
