Bollocks. We have no mechanism yet in xforms for your fancy "what's this" stuff. We had the debate some time ago about which route to take and the consensual view was that these long descriptions were the way to go. The view at the time can be paraphrased as: If I don't know what's going on, I'm grateful for a verbose description. If I do know what's going on, then I can turn tooltips off. This still holds IMO. That may change of course if someone were to implement a "what's this" thingumyjig. Angus
