Thanks man.  :-)

Future feature.  The idea is that it provides text describing what  
the element is for, maybe in a "help" popup.

As you note in a later email, one problem is figuring out what the  
markup should be.  I was thinking something more like a "div" so you  
can add an id or class, and possibly include markup in the  
description itself, so that JavaScript can hide and display it.

It's relatively low on my mental to-do list; however, I would be  
happy to review patches that implement it.
