In many cases it's not a description of the message that's needed, it's what caused it and what your subsequent options for fixing it are that's needed.
I can see that most of the messages from a compiler would indeed be self-documenting and quite rightly so, particularly since the reader is probably the programmer and therefore the one that caused the error situation to occur. Messages alerting of errors caused by external events are a different ball game however and should flipping well be documented!
