Oh, yes, absolutely. However, It helps with the hour long quest to figure out what the heck is going on.

Because here is what happens....

"OK, I want to make sure I set all the semantics... One final check. Oh, looks like I didn't. I'll just select it again to make sure."
But actually I had set it already! But by doing it again I have now just undone the semantic.

Honestly I think a major (but by no means the only) problem is that the Kindle (and possibly others) don't always recognize the "text" semantic as the start of the book, and in fact just plop you down in a random spot. So at that point you go back to check to see what is set as the semantic text... and then you are stuck in this loop of clicking and testing, clicking and testing.

So, to be clear, I am making this suggestion on behalf of all the stupid, ignorant, and uninformed people that you have empowered to make epubs. Clearly you have almost, but not quite, made the software foolproof.

And just to prove how dense I am, I actually read the manual and didn't catch the hover technique. I just thought that having an explanation in the dialogue box would not require any coding changes and might be helpful to us ignorant folk.
