In normal rendering of textarea form fields that are text-format-enabled, the field's help text gets placed below the text format selector and tips. This means that website users are unlikely to notice and read the help text.
I've created a sandbox module that addresses this by moving the help text up higher in the form so it appears directly below the field's label:

Rather than maintain this as a separate module, I'd be interested in adding this as a feature option to the Better Formats module. If you're interested, let me know and I'll supply a patch.

leenwebb CreditAttribution: leenwebb commentedThanks Sheldon, this is exactly what I was looking for! I literally have a post-it on my monitor that says "Text areas - move all descriptions between title and box". (If votes are being counted, I think it'd be nice to have this in Better Formats since I think of this module as "cleaning all the cruft away from text areas". )
