Description
The scenario I'm trying to address is when a customer enters a shipping address, which fails validation with a shipping service such as FedEx or UPS, but we are able to present the user with a suggested address based on what was provided.
Looking over the API, I only see a way to output an error message to the user explaining that the address was invalid, is there some way we can prompt the user to check whether our alternative address is acceptable to the customer?

Determine whether the API can represent a suggested alternate address and obtain customer acceptance; done would require a clear API design for that interaction.
