This is a categorization that adds value, I agree. The trouble (from  
our point of view) is that query errors are all non-transient. TMQL  
doesn't deal with transient errors at all. Those are an API/ 
implementation issue.

Exactly. And type errors, and incorrect parameters, and ...

Transient errors are things like network failure, out of memory, lock  
timeout, etc.
