That sounds like what I had in mind.

For a manual (interactive) client, I think that the difference 
between the two would be to print "permanent error" for a REFUSED, 
and "temporary error" for a FROZEN (or SUSPENDED).  For an automated 
client, I probably wouldn't recommend different treatments - so as to 
prevent overly persistent broken implementations.  (Perhaps the log 
message is different in the two cases, as suggested for the manual 
client.)
