What's the best way to add a tip?

I now replaced it with

<af:inputText ...>
        <f:facet name="help">
		<af:outputText 
			inlineStyle="white-space: normal"
                        text="lots of insight"/>
        </f:facet>
<af:inputText>

This looks really clumsy! As a convinced tipper, this blows up my pages by a
factor of two... what is the recommended pattern of usage?
 

Do you mean clumsy on the running page or more verbose in the jspx? It's 
more verbose, but it's also more flexible, you can use a showDetail in 
there, for example. Normally you would  use an outputText. What's the 
reason you need the inlineStyle you've added?

Thanks,
