Agreed. Adding the “exception for result->error_detail” sounds a bit redundant with the next paragraph. But “any result parameters are ignored” also seems to conflict with the next paragraph, so I think we can just delete that part.

ValidatorModuleResult has three fields, so the logic is:

* The first paragraph talks about authorized and authn_id when the validator succeeds.
* The second paragraph talks about the validator’s return values.
* The third paragraph talks about result->error_detail when the validator fails.

This is a good point. I added that in v2.
