It's good to not include many initial codes, but I would start with at
least three:

  OK = 0,
  UNKNOWN = 1,
  NORMAL = 2,

If you go that route, could you please pick a word other than "normal"
to describe errors that are not entirely unexpected? I'm worried that
someone will see "normal" and use it instead of "OK" to indicate
success.

Typical <== Normal

Though abnormal and atypical often have different implications ;-)
P.

Or USUAL.

The words "typical" and "usual" have the same problem of making it
sound like there was no error. I would suggest terms like "user
error", "network error", etc. instead.
