 When a webpage fails to load, it can be due to any number of factors. But
 when that page is served by an onion service, some of those factors have
 greater implications for security.

 It would be cool to know if the failure is related to a malfunction in the
 local Tor instance, or due to nonlocal failures. If TBB can determine
 this, adding something to TBB to create .onion specific error messages
 with greater detail would be helpful.
