IIRC we have a "diagnostic" keyword for issues about error 
messages. Might be worth adding a "documentation" keyword as well.

You can use the "safe" and "accepts-invalid" keywords for this.

This is what the "wrong-code" keyword is for.

In general, I think more emphasis should be placed on keywords 
and less on severity levels, since keywords are self-descriptive 
and mostly unambiguous.

Another benefit of keywords is that if/when we migrate from 
Bugzilla to Githhub, keywords can be translated easily into issue 
labels.
