True but not all messaging is global. I use msg fields all the time to specify local messaging such as use-logs and errorHandlers. When you hook in the messaging interface you can then quickly compare messaging on both sides of the message "pond."

You can do this in your code. But it would be handy to have field size and type standardized to support agile process.
