Hello,
I might be be missing the point, but it doesn't sound very logical to me that the "Description" field for vocabs, in the Taxonomy settings UI, is a text-area whereas the "Help text" where you define the "Instructions to present to the user when selecting terms..." is a single text field :
- The description is mainly devoted to admins, as a reminder of what this vocab was primary created for, so I guess a few words should be sufficient in most case.
- The help text, shown to end users, might need to provide more detailed informations and instructions - particularly in the case of free tagging - stating complete sentences ("Please triple check the spelling of the terms", " Try to be as accurate as possible and avoid generic, meaningless terms", "Beware of not creating duplicate..." and so on)

Hope I'm not misunderstanding the use of these fields ?

PS : duplicate with http://drupal.org/node/522266 which I posted in the wrong place.
