Hmm, I think the difference between the two is more significant in the
case of of a network-based provider: PROVIDER_ERROR would mean that
the provider is not functioning correctly (the server is down, the
client can't reach the network, etc), while NOT_FOUND would mean that
everything is working fine, it's just that the server doesn't have
enough data to tell where the client is. But I agree that maybe this
is still not enough to warrant two separate error codes.
