[MOBY-dev] Suggestion for new tag in Parameter (Secondary Input specification)

Can we add an optional description field to the secondary article tag? 
It might help people fill it out if they have a hint *what* they're 
filling out besides the articleName. i.e.:

<Parameter articleName="NameOfArticle">
	<desc>This field sets the frameshift penalty in the alignment.  The higher it is set, the less likely frameshifts will be detected and corrected.</desc>
        <datatype>Integer|Float|String|DateTime</datatype>
        <default>...</default> <!-- any/all of these -->
        <max>...</max>         <!-- ... -->
        <min>...</min>         <!-- ... -->
        <enum>...</enum>        <!-- ... -->
        <enum>...</enum>        <!-- ... -->
  </Parameter>

Sound reasonable?  Does this require a RFC?
