If it sends an ARF report, you can put whatever you want in the ARF, although I 
wouldn't want to attempt to standardize a lot of stuff that nobody uses.

But what is the relationship between the report and the button? Apparently, "single<user action>" excludes automated reports.

If you want to encode stuff in the ARF report to say whether the opinion is 
from a human or from software, you can, although it is again not clear how 
useful that would be.

That field may be useful in sorting out a report's consumers in a generalized FBL. Some mailbox providers notify via FBL when users hit that button, but not when messages are automatically blocked.

Also, humans make errors in a different way than software, hence any correction mechanism should be differently tailored.
