Stream or connection-wide error.

These messages inform the relevant process that an error
occurred. A reference is given when the error pertains
to a specific stream. Connection-wide errors do not
imply that the connection is no longer usable, they are
used for all errors that are not specific to a stream.

== Elements

Identifier of the stream that resulted in an error.

The reason for the error.
