--- Comment #3 from Pau Giner <[email protected]> ---
The use of an "X" button to clear text is a pattern often used in designs that
can be used in touch devices (where character by character deletion can be
hard).
The creator of a similar Dojo-based widget provides some information about this
at http://davidwalsh.name/dojo-textbox with an iPhone example. The "x" is also
commonly found in Android (I made a screenshot of Google Now search bar:
http://i.imgur.com/5kYwW.png ).

I think that a toltip is not needed because it takes less time to try it and
learn it than reading the tooltip itself. Especially considering that there are
no negative side-effects for the user to just try it, and it is not an UI
element the user is forced to use (the same can be achieved by deleting the
text manually).
