> Motivation: When you create a form, either you have plenty of space and you 
> put all the labels / controls linearly (label, <br /> input <br /> label2 <br 
> /> input2 .....), or you have too much information and you have to make 
> efficient use of the space.
> The default taglib easily allows linear forms, but creating forms where you 
> have data on the left, right and bottom/top of the input is much harder.
> Wish: So, it would be nice to have, by default, two additional attributes in 
> all form elements : shortdescription and longdescription, for instance. For 
> instance, the shortdescription could be displayed on the same line as the 
> control itself, and the longdescription as a block after/before the control.
> The implementation I currently use displays the short description on the same 
> line, and the long description after the control :
> <#if parameters.wwinfo?exists><div 
> class="${parameters.wwinfoCssClass?default("wwinfo")}"><label 
> for="${parameters.id}">${parameters.wwinfo}</label></div></#if>
> <#if parameters.wwdescription?exists>
> <div class="wwdescription">
>       <label for="${parameters.id}">${parameters.wwdescription}</label>
> </div>
> </#if>
> <#-- Add the stupid clear hack because of the float'ed divs -->
> <div class="clearhack"></div>
