> Beginning at line 1081 the description of ResponseType is described.  There are a couple of challeges here.  First it is probably inappropriate to define the unqiue EI response types in EMIX.  Second, the enumerations are not needed.  The "Yes", "No", and "Maybe" is self-defining.  If a single response is sent and the error number is 0 then it is successful.  If a single response is sent and the error number is anything other than 0 it is not successful.  
> "Maybe" comes into play when > 1 response type is returned.  For example, if two response types are returned one with a 0 and one with some other number, this represents a "Maybe", but the "Maybe" does not need to be literally returned as an enumeration, the package itself, with its mixed results defines "Maybe".  The system that receives these returns will still need to determine from the interaction identifiers, which return failed.
