-All errors thrown by Bugzilla itself have 100000 added to their numeric
-code. So, if the documentation says that an error is C<302>, then
-it will be C<100302> when it is thrown via JSON-RPC.
+JSON-RPC 1.0 and JSON-RPC 1.1 both return an C<error> element when they
+throw an error. In Bugzilla, the error contents look like:
+
+ { message: 'Some message here', code: 123 }
+
+So, for example, in JSON-RPC 1.0, an error response would look like:
+
+ { 
+   result: null, 
+   error: { message: 'Some message here', code: 123 }, 
+   id: 1
+ }
 
-Errors less than 100000 are errors thrown by the JSON-RPC library that
-Bugzilla uses, not by Bugzilla.
+Every error has a "code", as described in L<Bugzilla::WebService/ERRORS>.
+Errors with a numeric C<code> higher than 100000 are errors thrown by
+the JSON-RPC library that Bugzilla uses, not by Bugzilla.
