Nah - this is entirely on the WSME side :)

WSME translate all exceptions that don't extend their ClientExcption to 
HTTP 500, and anything that does to HTTP 400.

Beyond that, you only have the "default status code" to work with - 401, 
404, 503 etc are all off limits with stock WSME. Literally you have a 
default code for successful requests, and 400 or 500. Nothing else.

It seems like Ceilometer has worked there way around it using the 
"_lookup" method for 404's (but I can't find how they return any other 
status codes..), and libra + tuskar have replaced the WSME error 
handling for something entirely custom.

We're not massively interested in replacing WSME's error handling with 
something custom, so our plan is to just use Pecan and ignore WSME for 
the Designate v2 API. When it's ready, hopefully the switch won't be too 
painful!
