Even better:

<ww:textfield label="'label'" name="'name'">
 <param  name="description" value="'desc'"/>
</ww:textfield>

We won't be adding any more fields (style, class, or description) to the
UI tags before the 2.0 release -- but you are free to extend the UI
widgets as you need.

Alternatively, if the ww:param syntax is too much, you could always make
your own taglib that extends TextfieldTag that adds the correct logic.

Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] description field for ui controls

if you dont want to modify the tag classes you could just use:

         <ww:set name="description" value="'description Text'" />
         <ww:textfield label="'label'" name="'name'" />

        and in the templates add:
        $stack.findValue("#description")

its not as clean but it works.
