In order to differentiate the functions between quicktags and quicktags plus the following patch simply adds two lines to the README.txt file.

Quicktags adds buttons to your forms, for easy insertation of code (like basic HTML) into a textarea.
It uses on-the-fly generated javascript to do the magick.
It is not a wysiwyg editor, but something far simpler: It simply inserts the basic HTML into your textarea.
+Quicktags core features italic, bold, code, blockquote, link and inserting the teaser break to mark the end of trimmed previews.
+It also includes a button to check that all tags are properly closed, if not it will close them.

might want to clarify further that quicktagsplus is html tags only, but normal quicktags uses bbcode tags

Quicktags itself is html only. The bbcode module relies upon the original quicktags to provide the input mechanism and replaces the stock quicktags buttons with bbcode insertion buttons; so that quicktags doesn't use bbcode - the bbcode module uses quicktags.

Anyone using bbcode would be quite unlikely to turn on quicktagsplus. In fact it might be in the interest of bbcode to craft a similar bbcodeplus module.

All that said, it is IMHO the task of bbcode to provide any explanation regarding bbcode -vs- html.
Nevertheless if you have a suggested wording it would be easy to increment the patch.
