I would further add, that the help for this field doesn't just have to say
something document on-screen (e.g., enter the client's name), but can also
state restrictions about the field (e.g., The name field is restricted to 25
alphanumeric characters and may not include accented characters.) and
whether the field is mandatory or optional.
