After sending my previous message, I realized that I had gone to length explaining why I considered the term "accompanying" to be ill-defined, but I had forgotten to mention that in my review, I'd added "Or perhaps this should be forward-referenced to the discussion in section 3." Just adding a reference to section 3 would clarify it, because section 3 covers the matter well. Another version that would be good is "The emoji(s) express a recipient's summary reaction to the specific message referenced by the In-Reply-To header field of the message in which it is present."
