Hi George, In the hypothetical scenario that Namecoin (or any other naming layer) gets introduced to Tor Browser, it is likely that some error values specific to the naming layer are going to be useful to convey to the user. My preference is to defer that issue until after Namecoin is introduced to Tor Browser (unless you think it's important to prepare for in advance?), but I figured it's worth at least getting it onto your radar.
