In fact, perhaps we could use a microformat for technical problems and solutions.
The first thing I do when I get some funky error message is to google for it. Even for the most arcane problem, there’s a forum thread somewhere that will shed some light on the issue. A little more structure could add a lot of usefulness to that kind of information.

I think the basic need is Q&A, which allows computers to know
1. the two (or one to many) are related
2. the first is stimumous
3. the second and so on are responses, or answers
sounds like a DOAP sub-ontology for bug tracking?
