Three issues (one I brought up before and just want to get into the
official issue list):

1.  The spec is silent about wheter to generate Any inserter &
extractor
(<<= and >>=) functions for exceptions.  Since the DII & DSI both have
exceptions stored in an Any (for UnknownUserException, and for
ServerRequest), these functions appear necessary for compliant
applications to properly store and manipulate the exception inside the
any.
