Re: PositionError Requests

Looking at the defs., i do not see much of a difference between  
PROVIDER_ERROR and NOT_FOUND (NOT_FOUND is just a special case of  
PROVIDER_ERROR).  Maybe we can roll these two together, and get  
something like:

PERMISSION_DENIED
UNKNOWN_ERROR
POSITION_UNAVAILABLE
TIMEOUT
