I would associate it with all three. In my view, formal software documentation and programming references would be associated with the first group--and such documentation very often has "tips" and "warnings". Personal art galleries often have update -notices-, so there's a use within the second category. And then there's the tips, warnings, errors, and other notices that come with form- based web applications. ~fantasai
