In the spirit of trigger/@appearance='minimal' I propose that help/@appearance='minimal' offer the control label as a hyperlink which provides the help on request. XSLTForms implements this presently in conjunction with help/@href though it need not be limited to that and ought to be able to work with text as well. See http://xformstest.org/klotz/2011/08/pizza/pizza.xml for an example. In this case, the help hyperlink is traversed directly, but existing HTML styling techniques can be used to turn it into a popup window, overlay, or other style. We've found this means of presenting help to be less visually confusing than the common "help icon." Leigh.
