I'm thinking an explanation in the Special Values
section of the STATUSES table with a note in the
DCAUSES docs to see there regards the meaning of
alive/dead.
I'd prefer not to say the same thing in multiple places.
Speaking of which the status code and dcause codes are,
IIRC, listed in the docs. This will either have to
be updated or (my mild preference) removed. Other options
are to provide a link to a query that lists the codes,
or to have the documentation generator query the db
and put the result into the docs. The former is easy,
except perhaps complicated because a username and
password is required to access the database. The latter
is more complicated.
If Ryan/we set up public access to the database the
problem with usernames and passwords goes away.
