Right now the stanza.Error type uses a custom unmarshaler and consumes the entire error. This makes it impossible to get out application specific error conditions, ie. if you're using pubsub you can't figure out what the specific pubsub error was.

We need to re-write the error type and come up with an error API for getting specific error conditions out or creating new types that can be used to unmarshal specific errors.

I'm at a bit of a loss on how to do this in a nice way, so suggestions would be very welcome.
