Good suggestion.

My concern with this is that the instructions could easily be missed
(they're very likely to be embedded somewhere so it's not obtrusive),
and it's not the expected behaviour. I would prefer this type of
behaviour allowable if there was a settings page where people could
define their own preferences, as it would then be expected behaviour.
This guideline is about understandability, so it would seem reasonable
that controls behaved as expected unless explicitly changed by the
user.
