I am a big advocate for usability, but you can only bend over backwards THAT far. If they don't read the information, it's their problem. Sorry. As for the formatting, that is not so unfamiliar. A lot of websites have been doing this for years now.

What exactly is the difference? With "our" way You have <text><textfield>, with your way you have "<text:textfield>". Exactly how is this really going to make it more usable?
