I do not believe that current level of receivers would do more than alert
the use that there has been a processing error or warning (e.g. via some
form of audio or visual alerting) based upon the processable portion of the
MDN response. An accompanying message to the user may be more verbose and/or
friendly than the text portion of the MDN response.
One may envision future implementations where the receiver may be
preauthorized to take action based on the nature of the disposition-modifier
and the contained capabilities string.
