Actually, the suggestion was to have the reason included in the code/manifest.  
Then when the dialog asking the user for to grant/deny permission was 
displayed, the developer could tell the user why they want the permission 
granted.  Of course, if the application is being reviewed for granting 
permission a priori, the reviewer could look at that reason directly.  But the 
reason would always be there on the device, and looked at through whatever 
Permissions Management app is supplied.
