Aha, I can use the inbuilt functions :)
This works:
db.cr_shelter.name.comment=SPAN("*",_class="req")
Not as nice as having it within the same TD as the input box, but
still fine for avoiding having to write custom HTML per-view.

Now then, now to work on getting the tooltip populated from within the
same comment field as the JS (don't want to have to pull it down from
the DB using JSON as this adds extra compelxity & a key Web2Py usecase
is simplicity...)
NB Having an in-built functon for this called via a
db.table.field.help=""seems like a very useful addition to the
framework...
