Do not assume errors can be surfaced #157

Closed msporny closed 1 year ago

msporny commented 1 year ago

All of the current algorithms presume that errors can be surfaced and use "MUST" language related to error codes. For example:

Some libraries are not capable of exposing detailed errors and/or codes. The algorithms should be reworked such that throwing an error is required (MUST), but the conveyance of the error code/message is done on a best effort basis (SHOULD).
