+Client Handling
+---------------
+
+`messages` are meant for humans, with `reason:` prefixes so that clients can be slightly more intelligent with what to do with them. For example, with a `rate-limited:` reason the client may not show anything and simply try again with a longer timeout.
+
+For the `pow:` prefix it may query relay metadata to get the updated difficulty requirement and try again in the background.
+
+For the `invalid:` and `blocked`: prefix the client may wish to show these as styled error popups.
+
+The prefixes include a colon so that the message can be cleanly separated from the prefix by taking everything after `:` and trimming it.
