I think most implementations will end up using different strings. If those strings are shown to the user, then the error messages that the user sees will be quite technical and will also look different depending on the UA that she is happening to be using at the time, which may be somewhat confusing. I'm thinking that the applications that use the Geo API are in a better position to handle the UI for the error situations, so we should not encourage them to just print out the API error messages.
