Sure, but not just someone.  That was at least 7 different systems 
(based on a different response form) I listed from my quick viewing of 
the logs. In addition, one needs to also consider that an engineering 
thought process was done to add that information.  I can see the need 
for it to alleviate the waste and overhead in rejected delays, the 
redundant retries, network communications and reducing the queuing 
pressures.  I'm sure if a formal standard was available, it would of 
been used and perhaps others will also implement as well.
