That's either "Reject" or "Defer" with "We can live with that (/for now)."
body.

I can envision a little action qualifier text box, where the supporter can
put in a brief message that describes the reason for their action.  It
would (in my fantasy vision) have an accompanying select box that is
populated with the catalog-collected uniqueValuesFor() for that action.  
(Javascript would jam the values in the select box when the supporter
picks an action, from the selections for all the available actions
prepopulated in a hidden field).  This way the supporter could add a new
reason, if none of the conventional (already-in-use) ones suit.

While i love this prospect - fits my ideal of adaptive collaboration - i'm 
not sure the extra precision outweighs the extra complexity - and who has 
time to implement this, anyway?-)
