* The "what are microformats?" style descriptions only appear on mouse-over of the trigger terms (those with class="term"). It does not appear at all when keyboard navigation is used, making it somewhat inaccessible. The problem here is that the trigger elements are the ones that should receive focus, but not being links they are not in the tabbing order so do not, hence the helper text never appears for keyboard users.
